Editing Burlington, North Dakota (section)

==Education==
Burlington's school district merged with Des Lacs' school district in the late 1960s to form United Public School District 7,<ref>[http://www.dbhs.united.k12.nd.us/ United Public School District 7]</ref> thus [[Des Lacs-Burlington High School]] now serves students living in Burlington. This means that it has since shared a school system with nearby [[Des Lacs, North Dakota|Des Lacs]]. Children in grades [[kindergarten]] through [[sixth grade|sixth]] attend school in Burlington, while those in seventh through twelve attend high school in Des Lacs. 
Before 2000, there was a lack of room for the possibility of the seventh and eighth grades being located in Burlington, as the room needed for those grades was not completed until that year in the form of a new junior high wing. Des Lacs-Burlington Elementary School had approximately 500 [[education|enrolled]] students as of the 2008 school year.
