[quote=Anonymous][quote=mcjd79]Interested to hear about folks experiences at Burroughs.  It seems like a reasonably good school with a good Stem program and other activities.  Do you find the school to be friendly and a warm positive place for younger kids?  How is it as kids move up?   How are there special education teachers?  Is the before & after care run well?  We see it as a possibility to stay in the long run and are wondering if others are staying out of choice.[/quote]

This question pops up every year about Burroughs. The current PreK is great. The Kindergarten teachers are rigorous and tough, not your warm and fuzzy type. Not too parent friendly but your child will come out of Kindergarten miles ahead of other Kindergarteners at popular charters. It depends on what you want academics or social activities.

At a recent fundraiser, I learned the Kindergarten and 4th grade teachers won recent a Teacher of the Year awards. So that is a plus, and I heard 90% of the teaching staff have masters degrees.

Not bad for your local DCPS but the diversity remains an issue. Solid literacy and math instruction, recognized teachers, increasing test scores and STEM still aren't good enough for some people.

Makes you wonder why????
