Burr Elementary School

Burr Elementary School Jonathan Burr is a Magnet Cluster School offering Japanese as a World Language for all students. Visi

Jonathan Burr has maintained the highest CPS school 1+ performance rating, with a 400+ student body population. Our Culture is defined by kindness, embracing diversity, and making a positive change in the world our students live in. Our administration continues it’s commitment to high expectations, high school and college readiness, and maintaining an open door policy to keep the home-

school connection strong. Burr is shifting from student-centered to student-driven instructional practices, empowering students to engage in their own academic growth. This is laying the foundation for Burr to engage in truly personalized learning to develop 21st Century global citizens. With the support of our very active parent organizations, Friends of Burr and PTO, we are able to enhance the “Burr experience” for students by providing music, dance, the first-ever Burr concert band, one-to-one technology in 4th-8th grade, and beautification projects that project school pride throughout the building.
