In my experience, teachers and staff create a welcoming and challenging learning environment. I have always seen an acceptance and respect to all diverse students, no matter gender identity, race etc. My guidance counselor and librarian have been great in finding resources for students. Once, I had a problem with finding a book I was anxious to read, it meant so much to me when the school librarian took the extra mile in hunting this book downtown Worcester. Our school library is one of my favorite places in the school. I appreciate the colorful space. My only concern is many equipment in the school are old and rusty. Such as desks, windows, water fountains etc, that can be unsafe. I have found some doors in the building unlocked throughout the day. Anyone can get in and out. Of course, that worries my safety of myself and others. High schools fight and violence is not uncommon. Lastly, transition to high school was much easier with Burncoat Middle School right down the side walk.
I transferred to Burncoat High School my sophomore year of high school, and I have loved every minute of it. I got accepted into the honors and fine arts program and never felt like I belonged to a school community more. I had my doubts transferring from a catholic school to a public school, but was welcome with open arms. The administration and students made me feel comfortable and went out of their way to make sure I received the proper Burncoat welcome and that I adjusted to school life properly. The school is very diverse, making me feel comfortable that there are both staff and students that look like me. I had the pleasure of playing sports, joining clubs, and taking both honors and A.P courses with many different wonderful teachers and students. The memories I have made at this school are some I will never forget.
I enjoyed the art magnets provided for students to express their creativity. An opportunity to express yourself is fundamental for students to find themselves and focus on their talents. Besides being a public school with a great magnet program, Burncoat High is very diverse and students will rarely bully others because of the color of their skin. The teacher's interest and involvement could be improved.
