Ball Junior High School

Posted March 31, 2009

I pulled my son out of this school. Due to the lack of caring teachers and the students are just awful. The neighborhood is terrible. I can't believe the language teachers use in front of the students. If the teachers behave this way what can be expected from the students, only worse. My son was struggling do to the other students and their behave but now he is thriving. I can say that dr. Fried is trying his best but i don't believe it is good enough to cause change.

I am an 8th grade honor student. I have been involved in any thing possible from sports to clubs. This school is great. The school was placed in a bad area but that is not entirly their fault. The teachers and staff are great. Its just the students(most not all) that need a reality check.

I find the administration staff to very uncaring and will allow your struggling child to fall between the cracks. I have witnessed this same uncarless cycle repeating itself for the last two yesrs. If we as parents do not hold administration accountable, I assure no one else will, for they will receive a pay check regardless of your childs acadamic failures. It is Dr Fried' first year of serving our children and community. Let's see if he is man who truly cares for our childrens welfare. Don't forget to get involved with your childs education.

I am a honor student that goes to ball this school is in a bad area, is filled with gang violence, and drug abuse. I am shocked by this other reviews. Ask any teacher they'll tell you no matter how harsh, bitter, and incompeitent they are they'll tell you, this school is ghetto.
