Excellent experience overall for my now 8th grade. There’s a good variety of electives, sports, music, drama, etc. Mr. Canser has sparked a music interest and talent in my son that I never knew existed until middle school! Thank you Burnett!

The school is a joke there are parents who receive lots of favoritism from Office personnel there are students who received lots of favoritism from Office personnel and in the office personnel only does something when it's convenient towards them perfect example is what happened to my son. They made me pay for the trip to Raging Waters for my son after I paid they decided to tell my son that he wasn't going to be able to go because of an incident that happened at the playground even though one of the other staff members when into the office and told the person who punished my son that he had witnessed the entire event and it was all an accident that was no intention to hurt nobody there were simply playing soccer my son got to the ball first the girl fell hurt her knee and her hip but since the little girl's mom spends a lot of time at school and went and put in a complain my son wasn't allowed to go to Raging Waters no more and the money that I paid couldn't be returned this school is a joke keep your kids away from them. I honestly felt the my son was Moore High School prepared last year when you was in 5th grade at a different School then he does this year with only one year at Peter Burnett Middle School

School has very good programs. Students make very good process and develop students skills and personalities. Mrs. Ravo, Mrs. Baron, Mrs. Luz, Mr. Canser, Mr. Moise have been the best support for my daughter's learning process. They work hard to make the environment friendly and I'm grateful for it. Thank you Burnett!!!

Burnett rocks! Dont judge a school by economic based API scores or just by word of mouth- Go down there and visit yourself! Burnett is an International Baccalaureate school specializing in giving kids a well rounded, global minded education. It has changed dramatically over the years and continues to get better. People who hate on Burnett have to understand it's MIDDLE SCHOOL-the hardest, most hormonally socially awkward years of a child's life. I'd challenge anyone to find more creative, dedicated teachers than the ones at Burnett. They take their challenges and make them successes. If you want a staff who just assigns chapters and asks to answer chapter questions, go to Bret Harte with their high API scores... Burnett teachers won't do that because they are innovative teachers who truly care about their students learning so they create whatever they can to help students learn and feel successful.
