At Ball Jr. High, the teachers were really nice and friendly and the food was good. Many of the kids were nice but some weren't that friendly. Had many problems.

Math teachers at my school are amazing at teaching and they show how to check your answer. Most chemistry teachers although don't have patience to teach teens.

For me, I promoted this school in 2012. Hard to believe that it has been a long time. I joined many extracurricular activities and did many exciting things. From band, leadership class and computer classes, this school discovers the many exciting things to offer.

I have been at other schools. Ball Junior High by far is the best. They have many programs for students to participate in such as AVID, YMCA, sports, Girls Inc., etc. They have a great special education department and they staff is very caring towards the students.
