What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, February 17, 2016

My son and I really enjoy Robert J. Burch Elementary School. I was initially concerned about our rankings when compared to other Fayette County Schools. Then I realized three things: 1) the teachers are exceptional at Burch; 2) my son enjoys learning; and 3) Robert J. Burch has the largest population of students (more than any in the county and above average for the State of Georgia) who hold English as their second language. Even with this makeup, the test scores continue to hold steady, and the teachers and parents ensure that everyone does their best socially and excel academically. This makes for a future great, educated, responsible adult in America. Close Quote
