Burnett Middle School

"If you want to send your child to Burnett make sure you are aware of 1). The principal is unqualified and racist, I have no clue how he got to that position 2). unless your child is black it will be extremely difficult for them to be rewarded 3). They're are often fights and bullying and faculty does not raise any awareness to this issue 4). The deputy does nothing at this school there is no traffic control and no disputes that are solved 5). Majority of teachers are overpaid for the amount of effort they give 6). When problems occur, children need to fill a wish to see and cannot seek help immediately, my child has experienced this problem it takes at least 3 days for them to acknowledge your request. This is my opinion based on what I have seen and the actions of faculty and staff."

"The deputy is racist and so is Ms.Howard. the deputy is always targeting my daughter. I have also talk to other students and they told me they too have been targeted her."

"Son went to this school. 6th grade. Teachers are too busy dealing with trouble attitude kids they don't have time to keep with the kids who want to learn. School staff is let say not rasist. But pretty much the only care about there kind. "What you mean you people" So to sum up this review: 1. If you want kid to get in fight. GO TO THIS SCHOOL 2. If you have parents who don't care. GO TO THIS SCHOOL 3. If you want your kid to get lost in the system. GO TO THIS SCHOOL 4. If you don't care about your kid. GO TO THIS SCHOOL. 5. This school is no better than Mclane Middle School."

"My step son has been going to this school since he was in 6th grade this is his last year he is in 8th grade...hes is in Advance classes and has lots of friends he has never had a problem being bullied and is nice to everyone. He is respectful and other than sometimes being a chatty catty he has never had any behavior problems...and because of this, burnnet has been a great school....middle school is never easy no matter what school you go to....its full of pubesant boys and girls starting to find themselves and their independence it all boils down to the parents....i believe parents have to prepare children for middle school....prepare their confidence and mental state or they will not make it thru unscathed. The only complaints i have is the fact that they have lockers throught out the school yet they do not allow the kids to use them. My step son is not a big kid so he has to lug a huge bookbag full of all his books on his back all day its not good for his back and posture. Also could they make that school look anymore like a prison? It might help if they made the school look more lively. The school pschologically wards kids away from learning, it makes them feel like they are being force or their being locked up or caged...if they could make the school look more welcoming and do away with the fence that borders the school give it a paint job plant some trees and flowers it might help the children learn and feel welcomed.."

"This is the absolute WORST school in Florida. The administration is horrible; the Principal does not care whether or not your child is safe or whether or not they receive an education; the bullying is through the roof; the children are rude; there is significant inappropriate public displays of affection; etc. I could go on and on, but I would run out of room. I am so happy that I moved by children out of this school district. I would caution any parent to do the same -- even if it means you have to move. Your child WILL NOT receive a good education at this school."
