School Reviews
| 2 I attended Burney high school for 2 yrs, and was extrememly angry with the treatment I received there. I was in the special ed program, where teachers gave me unfair punishment for bad grades, when there were other people with bad grades also. Non of them recived disiplinary action. The academic prgrams are okay as long as you're not in special ed. There was no parent involovment, since it's a small school there are advantages in sports, music, ext. - Posted by Student/Alumni - kayla |
