Burns Park Elementary School

A good school, not a great school, with dissent being stifled. Some good teachers, a well organized school.

I have mixed feelings about this school. When we moved to this town two years ago we heard absolutely glowing reviews of the school. It is true that the parent involvement is amazing, range of activities that they organize are amazing. The teachers however, are remarkably uninspired and uninspiring for all the hype. The principal is quite helpful and perceptive and spends a lot of time in the classrooms and is a very useful person to talk to. The classroom teachers that my child had the past two years were really very very average. They do not motivate children to do more, they do not inspire creativity or originality and do not seem to really have any ideas for how to inspire the children to be 'life long learners'. Exceptions are art and music teachers who are very good.

I have two children enrolled at this phenomenal school- great teachers, very responsive to student's individual needs and incredible parental involvement. Indeed, each time I walk my children to the front door, I am so thankful they are enrolled at Burns Park Elementary.

The administration is very understanding and helpful. the parents are very involved and raise extra money for the school's needs. There are more community outreach programs like lunches with love and races and community service projects than I have seen elsewhere. And the Burns Park Players (community theater, usually musicals) incorporates kids from the school who want to participate into their always great productions. It has its own wonderful park attached complete with a sledding hill. What more could a kid ask for?
