[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed it's a great school for children with learning disabilities. Most of my sons class has some sort of issues[/quote]

Most of my kids' classes did not have "some sort of issues," but several did, and the other kids are nice to them.  That's one of the great things about Burke.  While it seems hard to commit social suicide at Burke, since it is a very open minded place, being mean to classmates with dyslexia or Asperger syndrome or ADHD would be pretty close to social suicide.

The workload varies a lot by student and by course.  Students who load up on advanced courses end up with many hours of homework a night, but very few students end up with the huge amount of homework assigned at the DMV's most demanding private and public schools.

As for "girl cliques" and "popular kids," they are barely perceptible to me. They probably exist (at least in some grades) but, to be honest, one of the most noticeable things about Burke is how much less of the "popular kids" dynamic there is at Burke compared to other schools I've seen.

Most students enjoy Burke, even in middle school, which says a lot.  [/quote]
