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 - Shawmut Hills School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy children go to Shawmut and we attend as a school of choice! The teachers are amazing and the principal too! The amount of care and concern with academics is amazing. This year my children tapped maple trees and learned how to take sap and make it into maple syrup! There is an edible garden where my kids plant and harvest vegetables, outdoor learning areas, monarch way-stations, and so much more! Shawmut is a hidden gem of GRPS! The PTA is extremely involved and they have so many ways for parents to be directly involved with learning. I highly recommend Shawmut! If you live in the area you should really stop by and take a tour - that’s what I did and I am so glad we made Shawmut our choice!Parent Review11mo ago - Union High School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAbandon hope all ye who enter here. The only school that I refuse to work in as a sub. It's simply awful and there are absolutely not redeeming qualities.

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. Two years at city.Student Review2mo ago - Grand Rapids University Preparatory Academy

"I've lived in this neighborhood for 25 years. Beautiful streets with trees and well kept lawns. Not racially diverse but welcoming to anyone. Edison Plaza nearby with takeout, drugstore, drycleaners, hair salon and easy access to expressway. Downtown only 2 miles, zoo, within walking distance. Lots of walkers and some with dogs. Standale not far and Family Fare nearby. I love it here!"

"A great house in a great neighborhood. This is one of, if not the largest lot on Grand Rapids Westsdie (John Ball Zoo neighborhood). With fully updated interior paints, floors, and appliances (all stainless steel); huge bathroom, his and hers sinks, jacuzzi tub & beautiful tile throughout. This restored inside is an exterior that features two driveways, two garages (a 3 stall and a 1.5 stall), all new windows and a recently installed deck. All this fits nicely in the quiet neighborhood of John Ball Park. The park is directly across the street from the house. With easy access to the Kent Trails system, there is more foot and bike traffic on this street than cars. An excellent place to live. Ideal for young professionals, couples and growing families."
