Georgina P. Blach Junior High School is an awesome experience. The teachers/staff allow students to express themselves and give a lot of attention too each and every student. They encourage students to mingle among each other. Lots of great projects and activities that really allow students to have fun and create great memories. Although there are some high expectations, the students are always willing to learn. The elective selection is a great quality to have. The students can decide to take two electives out of a large amount. This school is a wonderful experience.

As a former Blach student, I can say that I really enjoyed my two years that I spent studying there. The best part in my opinion is the diversity of classes you can choose as electives. I took engineering for two years, and it is a very engaging and informative class. Among other electives are journalism, drama, video production (in which students shoot and edit video clips for the weekly school video that is broadcasted during homeroom), and eco-action (students grow a variety of crops in the school's garden). The teachers are all very considerate of the students and can easily be interacted with. I also enjoyed the 3-level system for the math curriculum. The intermediate course I was in was just right for me. I would recommend this school to anyone in the area looking for a good middle school.

Blach Intermediate School has a welcoming atmosphere that makes every student feel involved and included in sports, classes, Fun Fridays (activities that are played for homeroom points), and Blach's overall community. The teachers at Blach care about each student and really spend their time trying to make each of their classes the best that it can be. They help students when they have problems with the course and the teachers are understanding and caring. Blach pushes its students to their maximum because it has such high academic standards. Blach is an amazing school that helps students grow as people and learners.

Blach has provided me with an outstanding middle school experience, from the students, who are driven to excel, to the the teachers, who have experience and a passion for teaching. The whole environment is comfortable and welcoming. Exciting activities include every single student, and the only ones who are left out are the people who don't make an effort to participate. The teachers have fun while teaching you new concepts and you feel involved in every discussion or classroom activity. Not only is Blach excellent academically, but in athletic activities as well. With a diverse student population and being outstanding in everything we set out to do, I think Blach is a fantastic middle school, and truly prepares you for the future ahead.

The school gives a great learning expirience. The staff is friendly and will work with anyone to help through-out the year. There is a great amount of balance to the craziest times of being in middle school. Your son or daughter will love Blach's expirience to help everyone pass the couple of years of Jr. Hight

Blach is a great school. Students are friendly and respectful to each other. There is no bullying whatsoever. Academics are hard enough so that students must work hard to succeed, but not so difficult that students will struggle greatly. Furthermore, teachers cover all aspects of the curriculum so the homework is not too difficult, nor too time-consuming. Teachers are approachable and always willing to help students. Blach is a wonderful middle school that helps students overcome their weaknesses.

I had a very good experience going through Blach Intermediate School. All the teachers are friendly and understanding, the school is nice and clean, and the staff makes sure you never get bored. From competing different homerooms to school dances; Blach leaves a plethora amount of good memories, friendships and more. It also prepares you academically for high school and makes sure you work you hardest. All in all, Blach is a great place to expand friendships and your child will never forget this outstanding middle school.

Blach is an outstanding junior high school in terms of academics, organization, and atmosphere. Activities events held both in and out of school allow students to try new things and enjoy themselves, while simultaneously their classes give them an opportunity to challenge themselves. Blach not only prepares students for high school, but pushes them well ahead of the average peer. In addition to this, the diverse crew of teachers and faculty carefully watches each student progress and consistently reaches out to those who require assistance. Many teachers are not only knowledgeable, but are thought highly of by almost every student on campus.
