School Reviews
| 5 Blackman Middle School has very high standards for great and educated students. I have been going here for a year now and have loved every second of it. I would like to think our principals for all of their support, and great work ethics, and letting students at BMS have a great time with learning in a fun way. We have a good amount of homework for just the right amount of people. I would also would like to think Mrs. Sweeney and Mrs. Parker for their help and as well as Mrs. Polsten. I would definitely recommend this hard, working, school to go to. - Posted by Student/Alumni - Kynlee |
