Be careful. They hired Levi reynaga and his family are baby killers. His family don't honor the Brett Land family.

This school is very bad there are a lot of bullies and plenty of fights they block way to many things which stop us from learning we could barely go on this site to rate you .

Not a surprise; 'ol Burton being ranked 3/10 stars... an UNACCEPTABLE score by ANY standards. Looks like it hasn't changed a bit. I went there as a kid long ago, right after attending the best class of my entire life -- 5th grade at Oak Grove. I attended 6th & 7th at Burton... the WORST classes of my entire life. I couldn't take another year so I rode my bike ALL THE WAY across town to Bartlett for my 8th grade year. I'll never forget how much I HATED Burton. No windows, treated like felons and kept busy the whole day long with "busy work". Kind of like being locked in a big closet ALL DAY, EVERY DAY... with a coloring book. Burton is the place where I first developed a total DISDAIN for authority due to the fact that we were constantly being punished... rather we did anything or not. Take it from a former student with nothing but BAD memories of the place. During the transition years from child to teen, it's probably not a good idea to have your child incarcerated at Burton right before starting High School. The most important life lessons are taught during those years and they'll most likely acquire a very NEGATIVE opinion about education... 3/10 says it all. A BIG, FAT "F".
