Burton Elementary school is part of the Grand Rapids Public School District. We are a language center and provide many supports for students who speak English as a second language or who are learning to speak English. Burton Elementary staff work with parents and the community to provide a positive learning experience for all students. Burton Elementary and Middle Schools have a diverse population that creates a rich, multicultural learning environment. Both schools are equipped with the latest technology and classroom design to support teaching and learning.

Our mission is to ensure that all students are educated, self-directed and productive members of society! Our vision is to become a world-class performing district with a diverse portfolio of the highest quality schools, with the top educational talent, to meet the differing academic, social, emotional, and physical needs of every student with unrelenting focus on high achievement, high expectations, and preparation for the 21st Century economy.
