[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not a special needs school. There is a large percentage of non-binary kids, but that is not the same as special needs. As a parent of a high schooler there, it seems fairly rigorous but not a pressure cooker. My DC works hard but is not overwhelmed. The school strikes a nice balance. It is not a cakewalk by any means; the grading from some teachers is quite strict. DC will be well prepared for college. (From parent with multiple degrees from HYPSM)[/quote]

New poster here.  Another current Burke HS parent.  I agree with this post completely.  Burke can be VERY rigorous IF that is what a kid wants.  But it can also be less so if that is your kid's speed.  I feel like my kid will be well prepared for college even though they have not chosen the most difficult path.

The location of Burke is great.  It's small, so definitely not a safety school for anyone.  There are only so many slots available.  It is definitely not a school for "special needs" kids.  They are very clear on that.

I know several families with experiences at both Burke and other schools with more prestigious reputations and without exception, every single one has said they prefer Burke.  [/quote]
