The quality of everything at this school is very poor. The administration cares not about families and will lie to protect themselves. There is a new building, but that means little when the people who are supposed to be educating the children act like they wish they would be anywhere else. There is a substantial amount of bullying, theft, and violence. All of which nothing is done about. Avoid this school at all costs.

Maybe things have changed since 1991-93, who knows, but this was the worst school I ever went to as a child. I was so traumatized that I don't remember my homeroom or reading teacher's names for 6th grade, just how much they hated me. The kids were just as awful. One pushed me into the roof column support to try to flatten my forehead, no idea who because I got a concussion and couldn't remember. At my D.A.R.E. graduation, someone had written all over my desk in permanent marker my name and that I am a B-word. My homeroom teacher didn't say or do anything while I just sat there and cried the rest of the day. I would beg to stay home the entire year pretending to have a stomach ache, or any excuse to not go to school. After the dare graduation trauma I would just walk to school, absolutely numb, and keep walking to the little grove of trees behind the school and hide in there until I could hear the end-of-the-day bell and then walk home. If those same teachers/staff are still there, I'd rather chew off my own arm than send my kids there.

Over all poor. Academically my son is behind. He has low self esteem and we are trying to reegnight his inquisitive nature and love for learning. His experience made him sad and depressed. The bulling and lack of support from the staff left him feeling alone and lost. We refused to let him continue at this school or let our younger children star attending at this location.

This is one of the best schools in the Vancouver School area. My granddaughter has done very well there. As for the past Principle. She was also wonderful. This year there is a new one and she seems to have what it takes to make it a excellent learning experience for all who attend.

By far the worst school my children have been to. The staff treat the children as if they are incapable of thinking or doing for themselves. The principal is a complete joke. Half of the teachers are airheads and scatter brained. They act like because they have 20 kids in a class they can't focus bee bothered with assigning homework. My kids have been to a school with double the kids at burton and got homework everyday. The lunch menu is ridiculous. As much as they promote "healthy eating" what they serve the kids is a joke. Another school my kids went to had a full salad bar with fresh fruit and vegetables daily along with other healthy options. the kids were able to serve themselves because guess what.. It teaches them how to be responsible and clean and mature etc. The processed pre frozen garbage and pre bagged junk food served there is not acceptable. But hey if they throw an apple on lunch tray it's healthy. Students were definitely not treated equal here as well. If you have a parent on the pta or are food buddies with someone.. Your kid might be fine. But be a new student with parents new to the area and your kids are treated like garbage. I've donated to the school. Book drives. Volunteered. But this school is still a joke.

My daughter works there and I know that she cares about every student in her class. She strives to instill pride in every one of her students. She is an excellent human being.

I feel like Burton teachers cant really care less about each individual student. I am very disappointed in the teachers.

Hi I have two kids that go to this school. I am not happy at all with the school well with the teachers. I have volunteerd for two years and I see that the kids are on their own most of the time. The teacher's just don't care. They say your kid is not doing good at a subject but will not spend the one on one time. This is a bad school the teacher in my sons second grade class said she dosent even check his homework. Amy from the office is the only person I can say anything good about she is helpful and nice.
