Blackford Elementary School

We have been here for almost a year and I know why it is rated a 3. I wish there was a school closer to me and I would transfer my daughter there. We moved from a school that was rated a 9 to this and my daughter is suffering because I had to move for work.

Great experience for the past year and a half.

Great! It has been improving in the three years we have been here, with better textbooks, more field trips and STEAM activities every year. the PTA puts lots of efforts to bring fun programs to campus, one year they had a stargazing event with professional astronomers that was very fun. The campus is getting a major overhaul as well which should be finished in the spring.

Between both my kids, we've been at Blackford for 7yrs. While I certainly understand the breakdown of scoring and challenges associated with teaching a diverse student base, I believe this school has an amazing community and has come a LONG way in terms of the quality it provides in many areas. The teachers are outstanding. The staff are incredible. The Principal and Vice Principal are exceptional. The kids and families that attend are wonderful. I am hopeful that our community continues to invest in this gem of a school so that our kids thrive and succeed and our neighborhood school shines. I encourage all new families looking into this school to please come and visit so that you can see first hand all of the awesome things happening here!
