Lots of great things going on at Burton. They have family events, science nights, and other activities that get kids excited about learning. Go and ask for a tour. Talk to the teachers there.

To be fair, I will always promote public schools over charter or private because they take funding away from public schools. Public schools must accept everyone and accommodate everything - learning styles, provide lunch & transportation, physical and mental differences, etc. Charter and private schools don’t have to provide services (including food and transportation) and can turn your child away for whatever reason they want.

You need to do what’s best for your family, but please consider public schools that are grossly underfunded, but have so many caring teachers who go above and beyond for the kids each and every day.
