School review information
Burnaby Mountain Secondary is a vibrant, well-rounded school that perfectly balances academics, athletics, and the arts. Its unique SFU partnerships and highly supportive, inclusive community make it a standout choice, despite ongoing challenges with overcrowding.
Editorial review summary
Parent and student reviews on forums like Reddit highlight a strong, supportive administration that 'runs a tight ship' and actively addresses issues. Parents of neurodivergent students highly praise the school's customized IEPs and accommodating teachers. The diverse community, 50+ clubs, and proximity to the SkyTrain are frequently commended. However, some parents note concerns about overcrowding—a district-wide issue—and mention that cross-catchment admissions can be competitive. While typical high school issues exist, parents feel the school manages them well.
Common positives
- Proximity to Simon Fraser University (SFU) with unique partnership programs like the SFU Soccer and Swimming Academies.
- Extensive academic offerings including multiple Advanced Placement (AP) and Honours courses.
- Highly praised inclusive environment with strong support for neurodivergent students and customized IEPs.
- Vibrant extracurricular scene with over 50 student clubs, an award-winning Dance Team, and strong athletics.
- Conveniently located near the Production Way-University SkyTrain station.
Common concerns
- Overcrowding is a significant issue, with the district even considering staggered schedules to manage student volume.
- Cross-catchment admission can be difficult due to high demand and limited space.
- The immediate suburban area around the school lacks diverse entertainment and dining options for students.
- While above average, the overall academic rating (6.1/10) is lower than some top-tier schools in the Greater Vancouver area.
Who this school may fit
This school is highly recommended for students who want a balanced high school experience with plenty of extracurricular opportunities, particularly in dance, swimming, or soccer. It is also an excellent fit for neurodivergent students needing supportive IEPs, and self-driven learners who want to take advantage of the robust AP program.
