Blandford Elementary School
My daughter, 2nd grade, went to Blandford for 4 weeks and has ADD the school was awful! I was told basically that she could not be helped. We had just moved from SC and the school was very helpful there. The only thing my daughter needed was a quit place to do her work. They told me there was nowhere for her to go..... Really, how about the library?! Anyways, it got so bad that I am now homeschooling her. Don't send your child to this school, they won't care about your child!

Etta: I am so happy because last year my son had a "difficult" year and this year I feel like Jose has the best teacher and I am so happy to see that Mrs Blake has made an impact aswell as on previous years as a teacher if you can catch Jose's attention and challenge him to learn you would be considered as one of the best teacher's in my book. Mrs. Blake should be teacher of the year. Thank you for giving jose the attention he needs. God Bless you and continue the good work.

Hannah: I went to Blandford the first year it was finished. Actually while the constuctors were finishing it! I had a great time at Blandford Elementary. It was the first school I went to when I moved to Georgia! When I look back, I realize, I would have disliked going to any other school. Mrs. Lynn Brown was 1 of my teachers, and she is the best teacher of all time! Her class was, without a doubt, the most fun class EVER and I'm happy that she chose to be a fifth grade teacher.
