Burt Elementary School

Posted: May 16, 2019

They do nothing with bullies but when kids stand up for themselves they get in trouble.

They have no clue it seems. Very bad school

Posted: May 16, 2019

They send no homework home at all

One of his teachers is better than others

It was the worst ever. I as a parent have been counting down to summer break more than I ever have in my life including when I was a student

My grandchild attended this school for two whole years never once did he bring homework home in those two years.

Posted: July 17, 2018

Judging by the several times that I spent in my grandchild classroom, either the teacher was nervous because a parent was present or she lacked the skills of a teacher.

Highly doubt it. More like set up for failure. They have an open door policy, go and check it out for yourself.

There was no structure none what so ever in this school. Every time I went, it was chaotic throughout the majority of the school. Keep in mind they only serve 2 or 3 grades.

Another Title 1 school with no services offered.

The teachers barely dealt with the students so no, they did not deal with bullying effectively.

This school needs to be looked at and monitored closely. If this school ranks 4/10, it's because they have set very low standards for this school which is usually done where there's a high number of low income children. I urge parents to go into the schools to observe for themselves. If you don't have children that attend, try volunteering 1 or more days a week. Most of the children need some guidance and extra help. I agree with the last commenter, most of the children do not get the support that they need from the parents or guardians. But I still feel a child should have homework at least 3 days out of a week. I suggest 5 days but at least some times. Never should never be acceptable. Once again, I'm the grandparent residing in another county. But if it were up to me, the child wouldn't be at Burt.

Not enough support from home from parents or guardians.

The school needs more funding and assistance to deal with the students that are having more behavioral issues. The students can be very unruly and there is not much the teachers can do about it.

Horrible. If the school is going to do the same as most parents(turn their head) then kids will continue to grow up rude and mean! Uneducated as well............ Their anti bullying is a crock of lies....they don't do much of anything when your child gets bullied and physically assaulted. Teachers are some what bullies themselves, calling the kids names such as Sassy Pants and making them cry...... Great School.......NOT

Bullying is a huge problem with this school. Some teachers don't seem to take notice or care to stop behaviors from escalating until the bullied student takes action to protect them selves and then are in turn punished.

504s are often over looked if it isn't convenient for the teacher to follow.

No communication between the teachers. Kids are far to young to be switching classes and teachers, especially if they are not going to communicate with each other. Some of the teachers show no patience or compassion. We even dealt with a teacher "tattling" on our son when we asked if he was involved in the class disturbance that had occurred. Was done in a very unprofessional way as if a child was telling on another.

Homework is not consistently given and not enforced to be taken home when it is assigned.

Posted: February 23, 2017

Most Teachers and staff do not communicate with each other so while one may be aware of a situation with a child others that they work with are not. Medication that is required is not given on a consistent basis. Bullying is a huge concern in this school. Some of the words and terms that my son comes home saying are being said to him are appalling! Over all not a good school at all.

Homework is not up to par for the grade. No studying is done. No notes. No books. It's ridiculous

My children have attended three schools since arriving in Clarksville 2 years ago. First was Rossview; then they changed the zone to Oakland. We moved to a larger place and was told we had the option of Rossview and Burt/St.B's. Come to my surprise; Rossview was NOT an option when I had to sign up the kids for school. I was livid but signed them up for Burt. Needless to say, this school is one of the worst my children have ever attended. Not just with academics, but mainly with the BULLYING and lack of supervision. My son had to change classes because one child kept hitting and threatening to kill him; plus much more. Now that my son has changed classes, his current teacher does little to nothing to stop the bullying. For kids that defend themselves, they are also reprimanded and have in-school or primary suspension. My daughter is also bullied and comes home in tears most days. I would not even consider going to any of the teachers. The principle that is there currently is doing well. It is her first year and has been extremely helpful. But, if you can afford and can drive your children elsewhere. PLEASE... PLEASE DO SO. If I could legally drive they would not be going to Burt. (I cannot drive due to an ongoing medical issue).

They work hard for all the students and really care. The staff is available and receptive to parents concerns.

Posted: July 30, 2016

The homework that is given is to reinforce what is learned during the school day. It isn't overwhelming but is preparing the students for the challenges of middle school.

Posted: July 30, 2016

The teachers and administrators really care and are willing to work with students and parents.

Posted: July 30, 2016

Burt Elementary School is a great school. My kids have loved their time here and left for middle school very prepared. The teachers are caring and dedicated and the administration is supportive. Being close to APSU, the local university, is an added bonus as we get student volunteers studying to be future teachers. That extra hands on attention is great for the students. Burt Elementary has been great!

Dear teachers I understand that is very hard to keep up with a lot of students, I was one once and I know how hard headed students can be. But teachers, faculty staff, coaches and other schools employees have a responsibility as the second line in teaching moral, values to our children that are going to endure though out their scholar years. Most times bullies are part of a direct result of parenting lack of skills in teaching their kids values but I as a responsible parent try to do my best to teach this values to my son. If I fail to do that it is your responsibility to teach my son or any other student at your school the values and responsibilities of life, the respect that one owe to himself as the respect for others. Don't talk about bullying, do something! Y'all can teach all the subjects y'all want but the subject you're failing in is respect!

Bullying is the most common issue in school and you're are doing a poor job at teaching others the consequences of bullying. Weather it is intentional or not, if some parents can not teach respect to their kids , you are the second line of influence to teach that in school. I can't go door to door talking to parents about the consequences of bullying but y'all in school can teach the students and should have 110% student awareness when it comes to teaching respect for others. Remember the bully don't understand that you don't do to others what you don't want to be done to you.

Bullying issues. Transportation is very badly zoned. My son should attend any of the three our four school closer to our home.

Being a military family, new to the Clarksville area, I was worried about sending my kids to two different elementary schools. But now that they have been here nearly a year they are both thriving. They both never want to move because they love it so much. I am impressed with the level of communication with the parents as well as the awesome bus system. And the teachers are ... AWESOME! We are proud to be St. Bethlehem Bees and Burt Tigers!

The staff that handled my child needed training in compassion. I went to them with an issue and got told my child was a tattle tale and deserved it. They also told us both for my child to stop fighting back with the kids who picked on her. My child was suicidal by the age of 10 thanks to the staff and the school. I would rather sit in jail for truancy than allow any more of my kids into this school.

Wonderful school where all the teachers and faculty care about the students. Any child would be lucky to go here.
