[quote=Anonymous]Here are some of Burke's strengths:

1.  Burke empowers kids to experiment inside and outside the classroom.  Burke students are strongly encouraged to try new things.  While Burke's high school offers many advanced classes, it also offers versions of most classes that are pretty easy.  So if you want to dip your toe in the water without diving into the deep end of the pool, you can, but if you want to be a very hard core student, you can do that too, and you can do some of each depending on your academic strengths and weaknesses.  The same pretty much goes for after school activities.  You can play on sports teams, act in plays, perform in bands, make movies, etc., even if you have little experience or talent, but some Burke artists, musicians, and athletes end up being good enough to enroll in art schools and conservatories, and some athletes end up playing on college teams (not many, but a few).

2.  Burke students tend to be very friendly, diverse, and welcoming.  You don't see many cliques.  There's a lot of school spirit.

3.  The Burke faculty is very strong.  Teachers spend a lot of time with students and prepare their classes very well.  They try hard to "meet students where they are" and help them improve.

4.  Students receive a lot of individual attention from counselors and teachers.

5.  Showing off your wealth is not cool at Burke.
