Here's what parents say about Burley:

"We love Burley. It's small and has a great community. Although we don't live in the neighborhood, it feels like our neighborhood school."
- Kindergarten and 3rd grade parent

"What distinguishes Burley from other schools is the quality of its faculty and staff. That's what impressed me when I first visited the school 6 years ago, and it still impresses me today."
- 2nd and 5th grade parent

"The teachers are so caring. They really take the time to get to know the children."
- Kindergarten and 3rd grade parent

"I love how Burley teaches kids to write and think instead of just keeping them busy."
- 1st and 3rd grade parent

"Something that struck me early on was the respect and care the older students show for the younger ones. I think it is reflective of the community that Burley has created."
- 2nd grade parent

"The great thing about this school is that everyone is on the same page. All the teachers share an educational philosophy, and I noticed it the first time I came here."
- 1st and 2nd grade parent
