CHARLES BURKE IS ONE OF A KIND! My daughter loves this school, my she started kindergarten 2010, her teacher was so sweet, loving, caring and so on, it was Mrs. Irion is her name. 2011 she started 1 st grade and once again she got a very sweet, loving, caring teacher, her name is Mrs Earles. My daughter was behind in reading and with the help of Mrs Earles she was able to catch up to her reading level. In the mornings rain, windy, sunny, cold or hot there is always someone other there to make sure my daughter gets in safe. When I've needed to call the school the line is never busy, and the secretary is always so nice polite. If I could do something for this school, teachers and all the office staff I would. :) Thank you all of CHARLES BURKE STAFF

I had 2 kids attend Burke last school term. They both did well and had good teachers. I will miss both of them going there this year. I will also miss Mrs. WD's phone messages which kept me up to date on all aspects of the school functions and misc. other info. Thanks to all of you at Burke.

I would not recommend this school to any one. My son hasn't had one good teacher since he's been there, and he's had 5 teachers in the 3 years he's been there. 2 of those teachers were new to teaching and one was a substitute that was there for half of the year. The sad part of it all was the substitute was the best teacher he's ever had.

Charles Burke Elem. is a great school and the staff members are really caring individuals. I have two daughters at this school and they like it and I have not had any complaints or bad experiences with anyone or anything at Charles Burke Elementary.
