Burton Elementary

Burton is the most diverse and collaborative school that I have seen in my 21 years of teaching. It is like home and a nuclear family to us all. At Burton our uniqueness is celebrated and our differences are actually what make us more united. We have a unity of purpose and are very empathetic to each other and our community in general. Burton Rams, we have high expectations.

I love the tight knit community! Every student is fully known and valued.

Burton is a family-oriented and inclusive environment that is dedicated to the community.

Burton is unique because it is a family and it has one of the most open door principals. We are the first school to receive the LIGHT HOUSE BLUE RIBBON AWARD. Every child gets a chance to experience being loved and cared for once you step into the school building. The children are greeted with music to awaken them and start them off for a very productive day.

I love that Burton really cares about the students’ success and they have high expectations for the students.

When it was time for my boys to go to school, I couldn’t imagine any other school besides Burton. I knew they would be loved on and nurtured.

I love the community and the intentional involvement of families. Our first interaction with the team was during a virtual visit in which the entire management team participated and led the visit via Zoom. Although we couldn’t enter the building at the time due to necessary COVID protocols, my wife and I knew Burton was the best place for our son. My son is seen at Burton, and we trust every staff member with his education and being part of his community.
