My son has been a student at BHS for 2 years. I have found most of the teachers to be caring and concerned with student progress, although I do sometimes feel like my son is just part of the crowd. Teachers do make themselves available to students for tutoring. If there are opportunites for parent involvement they are not well-promoted

Great teachers and administrators, wonderful resources, excellent curriculum. Important extra activities are being slashed, like arts and music programs, but Burbank High School continues to excel in these areas, as well as others. Because of cutbacks, driver education has been eliminated which I find inexcusable. Corporate America receives mega millions in bonuses while our schools and education - the single-most important factor for any country - are cut back to less than third world standards. Unacceptable and another inexcusable. Overall, Burbank High School is an excellent educational institutes which deserves to continue to excel. Too many are struggling...

The administrators and teachers here, for the most part, are poor communicators. The district as a whole is behind the times in technology and in getting information out to parents and students via the Internet. It is a safe school. I can give it high marks for safety. But it does not have an atmosphere of innovative, creative, or visionary thinking to prepare students for the careers of tomorrow. The fact that the school and the district do not have modern websites is indicative of the old-fashioned educational design that exists at Burbank High. Old-fashioned, in my opinion, isn't good enough anymore. It would also be great if all the teachers and administrators could return phone calls. This lack of communication is such a serious problem that if a parent asked me if I would recommend this school I would say 'no'. Parents should be partners with the schools, not ignored.
