I have 3 daughters who have attended Burley Glenwood since kindergarten, and I am pleased with the education they are receiving. I have nothing but praise for the teachers and staff of this school.

I believe that Burley Glenwood is a great school, but I also feel that the teachers pile too much homework on the kids and they have no time to be kids when they get home from school. My son is in school 6 hours every day and then has at least two hours or more of homework after school every day. The math program that the SK district uses is quite ridiculous.

The Teachers and Staff at Burley Glenwood are wonderful. I have three teenagers who attended BG and all three loved the school. I have a second grader there now who is doing really well. She is academically gifted and even though the Quest program does not start until the 3rd grade she receives the the needed curriculum to keep her challenged. I have also had over 10 Foster children attend BG and all their needs were met also. I love this School! Michele Carmack

My son went to kindergarten here for 2 months and in that short time I could see the staff really cared about the kids. The principal is the best. He was always involved and knew each kid by name. My son's teacher had a very nice website I was able to go to and see what he was learning that week. Overall I really liked this school.

Our first year at this school has been a disaster. My son has had no structure or routine in his first year at school. The other kindergarten class is so far ahead of ours, yet we were not allowed to switch our child to that class because, 'then all the parents would want all their kids in the other class.' We are very unhappy with the school at present but I cannot drive him to another one, so we are sadly stuck.

After my child's first year at this school I am disappointed. The teacher he had was horrible. After complaints to the principle nothing happend. I expect more.

BG has great facilities, large playground and exceptional school spirit. The principal is a dedicated leader that is respected and admired by students, faculty and parents. The teachers create a pleasant atmosphere to learn in. I have had seven children and grandchildren attend BG over the last thirteen years. All of them have nothing but pleasant memories of their school.
