Burroughs High

Burbank has long been a draw for families who want the feel of a smaller, community-rooted city without straying far from Los Angeles, and Burroughs High fits right into that identity. The school performs solidly across the board — especially in English — making it a strong option for families who want a well-rounded public high school experience in a district that takes academics seriously. With the entertainment industry nearby and a tight-knit local culture, Burroughs tends to appeal to families who value both opportunity and a sense of belonging over the pressure-cooker atmosphere you might find elsewhere in L.A. County.
