My daughter attends this school as well as my other daughter which has now moved to the middle school. My daughter is in fourth grade an has encountered numerous episodes of bullying and racial comments. All of of which are never addressed. At best they are handled by the guidance counselor. I dread everyday sending her to school and her return because I know she is going to tell me something negative occurred as well as the lack of concern for these issues from her teacher, guidance counselor and higher staff. I am disgusted. They are more concerned with a negative lunch balance than bullying and racial slurs. My daughter’s grades have declined and she hates going, which was never the case prior to this year. I feel the school has failed our family.

My kids go to this school and they are in the 4th and 5th grade. Neither one can write a complete sentence out. Their math is a joke they get told it's the correct answer when it's not. If they stop worrying so much on the testing and more on what the kids really need to know to succeed in school maybe they would be a good school.

Burns Elementary is a wonderful school. My son started kindergarten this year. We are new to town, he is my only child & he didn't attend preschool so I was no nervous in the beginning. The school has put all my fears to rest. Any concerns I have are addressed immediately. I am able to email his teacher with any questions 24/7. I eat lunch with my son once a week & see nothing but good things while there. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone.
