Ballou is a great enviroment for students! the teachers are so understanding and nice yet strict on the rules!

I go to this school and i think it's great. It has all the teachers you would want and opportunities are offered to all students. The new vice principle seems to do everything he can to keep us all safe and content. About harrassment, I'm not at all worried. I do hope that it will offer something more challenging than honors. I love the Ballou's library, it's the best. Overall, i think Ballou Jr. High is a great school with great teachers.

Ballou JH has supportive teachers. There is weekly 'Bruin Time' for after-school help and study time. Many of the teachers have additional after-school study/help times available. We have worked with teachers in the mainstream classes as well as the classes for kids with special needs. I have found the teachers and coaches to be very supportive. This school emphasizes academic performance before athletics. Harassment policies and the like are taken very seriously. Online access to grades and teacher email is available. This is my fifth child to go through JH and I have found this to be an excellent school. Open communication with the teachers is a MUST, regardless of what school is attended. Ballou JH staff work with students and the parents to encourage success.
