GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

School is the place for learning. This has been told to me many times, but at Burges High School, I've done much more than learn. I've had an unforgettable experience. These experiences are both good and bad, but overall, has helped me develop as a person. I thank this school for helping me be who I am because I wouldn't have my amazing friends, coaches, and teachers without it.

Those who wish to get further in their education, look to transfer or move into an area where a school has the necessary capacities to be ready for college. While this high school does offer good programs, its not yet capable to prepare you for college.

This School has rude ladies in the front of the office. Seems to think it's ok to pick up my Disable child at an intersection with cars passing by, and The bus driver doesn't use the stop sign he has to let cars know a child is being dropped off or picked up.
