Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191 Reviews (2024)

Rating 2 out of 5

It's, very average and a bit mediocre. For developmental culture the district could use better preparation skills for kids in the real world

Rating 3 out of 5

Very diverse and we have a lot of cultural clubs. I have made my own spot in this school by following my passions. We have a lot less higher level classes and clubs than other schools around us.

To start off Burnsville highschool was known as a great school, but suddenly dropped off and the beginning of the educational environment became terrible. I remember at Nicollet middle school on my first couple weeks there was a food fight and multiple fights between students and teachers. Now I’m highschool the use of weed in bathrooms is insane and the fights freshman year were crazy. The student to teacher relationships are very good the tools and opportunities live up to their elder name. It’s just the students that bring the school down.

Attending Burnsville High School as a Muslim woman wearing a hijab and being black presents a unique set of experiences. Navigating certain challenges can lead to growth, resilience, and a strengthened identity. Additionally, there are challenges to consider, such as the potential for prejudice, discrimination, and social exclusion. Limited understanding about Islam, hijab, and cultural differences can create barriers to integration and acceptance. Moreover, being a Muslim woman and a person of color means facing multiple layers of discrimination. To improve the experience, education and awareness about different cultures and religions, the implementation of anti-discrimination policies, and the establishment of support systems would be beneficial. Overall, it's important to address these issues and work towards creating an inclusive and accepting environment for all students.

I've been in the district since early grade school and have watched it flourish and transform into something wonderful. The people here are kind, and the teachers perform their duties with pride and joy. It's extremely diverse, and I would recommend this district to anyone in the area.

I really enjoyed my time here, the diversity here is amazing! There is an array of classes you can choose from and so many activities to take part in. The food is good, the teachers are great, and the academics is even better.

Academic instructions and help from teachers is one of the main reasons our Kidd's score is among the top percentile rank in the state in reading, math and science.

My school is a good place for students who just came to america like me. My school is described as diversity which they want student to value that. However, that diversity doesn’t make it any better. It only makes more divisions between students. I remember went to every football home games, students were sitting in 3 groups. White students aka popular kids would sit in a big group shouting and screaming. Black students would sit in another group as well as the cheerleaders are all black. As Asians students, we’re the minority. We blended ourselves and sit anywhere we possibly could. I first time in life get to see with my own eyes when group of white students started to throw the small balls to the cheerleaders while they were cheering.

I think it is a well-rrounded community. It lets all the students feel welcomed when they are at school. There are sometimes problems but the students and staff all work together for the problem to be solved. The staff and students are very welcoming and included in everything that they do.

Burnsville schools, along with the rest of ISD-191, are no longer focused on academic excellence or the health and wellbeing of its students. Giving parents choice and allowing parents to put their kids in the school of their choice (in other districts ) Is as important as providing free and reduced lunches to students moving to 191 from other areas.

I loved how United students could be with teachers,there is a lot of diversity which is a very positive thing for a school to have almost neccesary.Sports are a very fun thing to do expecially is this school district, competitive but also humble. Something that I'd like to see change however is how the administration deals with certain problems ,other than that this is a very good and positive school district who cares about the well beign of its students

I started attending Burnsville Highschool in 2016 as a freshman. Burnsville started out as a great school (would have given it 4 stars), but with recent decisions has made it worse. The poor decision this district has made, is to cut all CIS classes and most AP. One thing that I use to appreciate about 191 is all there opportunities to get college credit for free. For some students this would be great help with paying for college, since most will be first generation college students of their families. If a student took advantage of all the opportunities offered to them and passed all the AP tests, they would finish with about three semesters of credits done. Saving a whole year and a half of college. But now that the school is cutting this program there is not much left to the school other then drugs and fights.

For years the online communication with grades has been horrible. We have ParentVue, StudentVue, Schoology. Why can't there be ONE system in this world of technology that we have? Grades are not ever current or accurate. One system does not speak to the other system showing inaccurate information thus parents have an inaccurate account of what their kids grades really are thus resulting in increased anxiety and emotions in the household.

Very caring teachers and a very advanced college preparatory program. The mainstream teachers are not the best and administration is not great either.

Rating 5 out of 5

Sent three kids through the district and could not be any happier. BHS recently established a new pathways curriculum that is getting national accolades, which addresses both those seeking college prep as well as skills to enter the workforce right after HS. BHS is #1 in U of M's CIS program. Wide range of extra curriculars. School of has turned diversity into a advantage. Love the teachers.
