Peabody-Burns Junior/Senior High School

Two of my children have graduated from this school and two more are currently attending and they are all straight A students. This school works with children to help them excel in both academics and athletics. The teachers are caring and go out of their way to help children excel. The school features small classroom sizes that allow children personalized education. Any student would be fortunate to attend this outstanding school.

We are disappointed with the level of motivational and/or creative teaching methods used in the classrooms. We have been concerned enough to move from the district.

Since these postings, there has been a new administration and a turnover in teachers. I am extremely impressed with the changes this past year after 8 years of disappointment

I agree with the other parents. This school was lacking in many major areas when my child attended and the administration was of great concern to me.

This school has been a big disappointment. It is probably fine for some kids, but our child needed accelerated learning opportunities and we could definitely have felt better about the administration. Its outstanding music program dramatically deteriorated while my child was here, so that it is at best mediocre currently. the caliber of most of her teachers was shockingly poor. I cannot recommend it to any parent wanting their child to receive an education that would prepare him or her for college.

If you have special needs children then this is not the school for you. They will not follow an IEP nor will they do what is best for your child(ren)
