Being a student at Burnsville has taught me many things other than education. With there being so many different peole it has helped me see other peoles prespectives which will hlep me be more open and understamnding to people in my future. Unlike other schools, Burnsville has many different pportunities with pathways that really help students enter the workforce. An example of this is the EMT program students can take classes throughout high school and work with real EMTs to help gain experience and have more opportunities straight out of high school. One sad thing about Burnsville is the budget cuts which has decreased the amount of extra ciriculars students have for after school
I loved the amazing theatre program and music programs! I was able to have a wide variety of activities, and academics. I was able to travel with the school band, and have leadership opportunities. I appreciated how hard the staff worked to have all students achieve academically. I also was able to earn almost 30 credits through the University of Minnesota while still being in high school. I am very thankful for my high school experience.
Overall, I think Burnsville High School is a pretty school, but there are a lot of things that it could improve upon. The teachers who are good make learning an enjoyable experience, but there are a lot of teachers whose methods I think can sometimes hinder a student's learning. The school is very diverse and I think that diversity hasn't been an issue in the past ten years. The academics by themselves are okay but there are a lot of students who don't pay attention or do well on tests. A lot of the activities at the school are okay but every year are starting to receive less and less money, as the school is starting to have less of a budget causing many things to be discontinued. It's easy to nitpick all the issues about Burnsville High School, but it's not an awful experience to go there.
