Although Burroughs definately has some passionate fans, we have found our experience at Burroughs to be lackluster. The school feels tired, worn, and lacking inspiration. For months I have walked down the stark, main hall passing each empty classroom bulletin board. The front office secretary is not friendly. Our teacher, although a sweet person, is lacking the skills to really be an effective teacher. The school is located in a great neighborhood. The right management, creativity and parental involvement could turn this little school into a star.
I LOVE BURROUGHS! It's true about walking on campus and staff and teachers knowing your childs name. That is awesome to know that EVERY student is noticed and recognized. PeaceBuilders is alive and kicking on the Burroughs campus and I truly believe is a huge part of the 'behavior' at Burroughs! Great School, staff, teachers and principal.
As a parent of two here at burroughs I can say that this is one of the best schools in signal hill. This school offers music class starting in second grade through 5. It has chorus class. It has an after school program that offers extracurricular activities for the student, the program involves the students in art,drama,sports,fieldtrips to various educational places,its councelors are well trained in child care and education. They help the students with homework assignments and they have a good relationship with the students and parents. I love the program and so do my kids.Overall I give the after school program a big thumbs up.Thanks to the principal for having a program like this close to home it is a well balanced academic program in your school.
This is a great school and the pricipal is the best they have have in the 6 years my daughter have went to school there. Unfortunatly some of the staff and parents have teamed up against the principal not because she is bad, but because she does her job and runs a tight ship. Those that appose her are the ones that aren't worth listening to. Just on a band wagon if you know what I mean.....
