8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating Averageas a former Blandford school student, my experience was amazing. the only way to fully understand the greatness of this program is to experience it. the teachers push you to your limits and beyond. blandford is the place that I met my 5 best friends, and we are still as close as ever. the way they slip nature into the daily learning is simply amazing. I love when we went into the woods and learned about everything around us. sometimes we would even go out there to have a conversation about math! the teachers create a friendly environment for the kids, while making it easy for us to respect them. I loved every minute of it, even when I was struggling a bit. I hope that this post may convince you to let your child go on to what I thought of as the best experience of my life.Other Review11y ago - John Ball Park Zoo School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe metrics on this school are not as straightforward. As I imagine is the case for many schools that are on this website. In regards to the large gap between test scores and progress, students have a test score requirement to apply. As for progress, our personal experience saw exceptional progress, though not necessarily in test scores. Our student learned how to manage multiple projects with varying deadlines, work with a team, and how to study independently. Also, the metric on teacher to student ratio is off. There are two teachers that teach 2 subjects each and they work with half of the students at a time. The students rotate classrooms. Please do not take these scores at face value. There is so much learning and progress happening at John Ball Park Zoo School. Reach out to the school, or a parent or even a former Zooie themselves. Highly recommend this program.Parent Review1y ago - Sibley School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThey care about your grades rather than your mental health. I was in the worst place of my life, I failed on a test, and I explained this to my teacher, that I had too much homework every day and that I have a disability to concentrate, and after all of that, she just simply said, “Well, welcome to city.” No retakes, help in the future, nothing. And that’s one of my teachers. Save yourself your mental health, and don’t go to this school. This was made February 4, 2023, sophomore.

"I live in this Neighborhood and have noticed a lot of single young families and young professionals buying here because the prices are low! Also it is so close to down town, about ten city blocks!!! Lots of Artist seem to be buying in the area as well! Tons of potential new business along the Butterwort and Fulton street corridors! New business have been popping up a lot along both streets! That only means speculators are looking at the potential midd class residential incline ! Great parks near by about 4 blocks away John Ball Zoo and the largest city park Millennium Park! Lots of great restaurants near by downtown and night life! Museums and other cultural activities year round! Its a safe and quiet neighborhood except for the Church bells that chime every now and then! A lot of these house are less expensive than a new car! They are turn key but I have to admit I totally renovated my house down to the studs and rebuild it to my taste! Still way less than any home out in the suburbs or in a new build high-rise! If you work downtown, this is an excellent & affordable place to live! "
