City of Burlington School District

City of Burlington School District We are a public school district who services grades PK-12. Likewise, the full day kindergarten program provides a strong foundation for student academic growth.

The City of Burlington Public School District includes Captain James Lawrence School (Kindergarten to Grade 2); Samuel Smith School (Preschool to Grade 2); Wilbur Watts Intermediate School (Grade 3 to Grade 6); and Burlington City High School (Grade 7 to Grade 12). Our total student enrollment of approximately 1,700 students includes students age three through Grade 12. Included in the enrollment

at Burlington City High School are students from Edgewater Park School District. The City of Burlington Public School District has a “receiving” relationship with the Edgewater Park School District, which has been sending students in Grades 9 to Grade 12 since the 1930’s. The City of Burlington School District has an exceptional early childhood education program and is proud to offer residents of the community access to a high quality full day program for three and four year old residents at a 12 classroom Early Childhood Center at Samuel Smith School.

✨We wrapped up New Staff Orientation today with a "Back to the Future" 80’s theme! Our new staff members started the day with a bus tour of historic Burlington City, completed essential trainings on HIB, data, and evaluation, and enjoyed a wonderful lunch hosted by the City of Burlington Education Association. A sweet visit from Mr. Softee and fun prizes capped off a great three days of orientation. Our new educators are fully equipped and ready to inspire! Wishing everyone a fantastic school year! 🚌🍦✨ 💙
