Ballou is recognized as a leading school in behavior and respect. There have been many teachers who have made positive contributions to the atmosphere and stress the importance of respect of one another. Ballou is not only a great learning environment, but students and teachers as well as the others on the staff team have put together many exciting social events to reinforce friendships and have fun. Teachers at Ballou are not only great teachers, but relate to the students, and make school fun and attractive.
i attended ballou 7-8th grade of 2017-2019 and the school had its ups and downs. there were a lot of great teachers, who were very fun and involved with students and didn't just consider it a job. the years i attended the school was terribly overpopulated, but since then i know they built a new school next to ballou so that might be taken care of. the years i attended there was only one African american teacher. this isn't bad but the school lacked diversity severely. the years i were there i was pretty well known with everyone and bullying didnt seem to happen a lot. i had one teacher with the last name Ogden, who was not good at teaching. although parents may think its just us kids who dont pay attention, she wasnt very explanatory with anything she taught. she also had several race involved complaints. overall the school out of ten, would probably be a 7.5-8. the school is pretty secure as well but not too secure to the point where you feel trapped. hope this helped :)
The school is very good and would recommend. It has its problems, but what school doesn't... The ice cream here is crazy good, as well. This school hosts grades 7-9.
