The Burgundy middle school parents will know exactly who my kid is when I post this, but, what the heck. 
My son started there in 2019 as a sixth-grader. We're new to the United States, and I was looking for a smallish, progressive school where his differences would hopefully be seen as "interesting" rather than as "weird." It's been a great experience for our family both socially and academically. (The adults do tend to assume that my kid knows, for instance, what New Orleans is, but they're not judgey about it when it turns out that he doesn't -- and they don't equate lack of familiarity with lack of intelligence, either, thank goodness.) My son's learning what he needs to learn, has made some friends, and is measurably more Americanized than he was 18 months ago, in all the right ways -- in short, Burgundy's been very good for us.
(Don't @ me for not telling him about New Orleans... it just didn't come up before....)

DP, this is not my experience at all with Aquinas and we have been there going on 5 years.
Well, Burgundy has been open as well with no issues. That is not the point I was making. Aquinas a for profit school school. Yuck! Glad you like it though.
What are the financial aid packages like at burgundy?
There’s not a standard form. It is not a rich school, so you won’t see aid on the level that older schools with bigger endowments can do. However, they are growing their endowment and the auction is entirely for fin aid. They make every effort to help accepted students in need. You will not get a full ride, but you are likely to get something if needed. You will have to decide whether the offer works for your family.
They’ve been around since the 1940s. Surprising that even for a small school they should have a lot of alumni who can contribute even to make a partial tuition ride for some students an easy thing to accomplish. SMH.
