WF Burns is very poor. It seems that the teachers have no relationship with the children and that they are there to just pass the time. My child feels like he is attending a military school. You have to walk a straight line in the halls and no talking. I think it's poor when the children can't even interact with each other. WF Burns answer to everything is In School Suspension, which denies the children of alot if they are ever placed in ISS. Children need to be able to be themselves and not be punished for what other children do or have done in the past. Poor Principal leadership - but good assistant Principal. WAY WAY WAY too much busy homework. I agree with teaching children to be creative but let them do these creative type busy projects AT SCHOOL! That's what the teachers are there for - to help and teach them with these things. Not to send home some guidelines for the parents to have to do when it's a project that teaches a child NOTHING!!
poor teachers, poor staff. kids do what they want. give them after school dedention they don't show up. nothing is done ..... the principal needs to tighten up or go
I am a current stuent at this school. I think it could use alot of help. There is barely anything for students to get involved in and they have to be popular to do it. I really hate this school.
This is a great school! The teachers are excellent and are all highly-qualified and highly-motivated. My children came there from a local private school, Springwood, and had a lot of catching up to do. I wish they had gone to this school all along.
The academic standards in this school is very poor. They do stuff in 7th grade that kids in private school do in the h or 5th. The teachers and staff are not interested in the kids at all. They do just enough to get them and the kids by. Plus they are always rearranging kids schedules and when the school messes up it is always said to be 'computer problems'. My advice either go private or move out of the area we sure are.
w.f. burns middle school is a good school for students.they are getting students ready for the test of the future.they also get them ready for high school and college.
