Middle School Student: The teachers were decent but some of the kinds could be mean. There is too much pressure for such young kids at this school. This prepares them to be academically successful in high school but may not be worth it.

Niche User: I think it is a fine school. I was amazed to see that 4.0 honors kids being told that to be 4.0 and an athlete was the BEST way to show "greatness". Come on. Some kids don't want to play sports. Didn't see anyone saying 4.0 with fine arts was great. Give me a break.

Burris Laboratory School

• K-12
• 56

Parent: Burris is considered the best school in the local area, as a result, it is very difficult to enroll in. The lottery process gives preference to children of employees, siblings of current students, high ability students, and then anyone else. If you aren't able to enroll at Kindergarten the chances are very slim in following grade levels. As a parent, I found this process very stressful.

The school does have excellent resources available for students. The co-teaching approach in the early elementary grade levels seems to help meet the needs of students at different levels in math & reading.

Since Burris is affiliated with BSU they also have added benefits of student teachers providing additional resources and learning opportunities. The school has also been able to avoid the budget crisis that MCS is struggling with.

I've generally had a positive experience with Burris, except I really dislike the out of date building and lack of efficient pick-up/drop-off and parking.

Middle School Student: Actually, I started not too late but a little bit late. I began speedway this year's January. I was a little bit nervous at first but I later became free and anxious to resume school the next day, due to the kind and generous behaviour of the teachers and students. I plan to play basketball next year for the high school because basketball is my best sport. Although, this is my first time practising with my coach he still loves me and makes me understand. Speedway US THE BEST!!!!!!

Wilbur Wright Middle School

Middle School Student: Overall had a good experience in terms of the education. There were a good amount of dedicated, focused, inspiring teachers. The teacher had very engaging lessons, along with going above and beyond, helping students personally to help understand the material in front of them. Of course, like most schools, not everything is perfect. The benefits the school, although, outweighs the bad. There is a good environment for extracurricular activities at Wilbur Wright Middle school, always ranking high in their class. The school had given me a very social, happy, work environment, making every day exciting. In conclusion, the school did their best to ensure my future is bright.
