The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Ballston Spa provides an excess of academic resources with the obvious goal of educating its students. As an honors student, I have strived to challenge myself as much as possible throughout my time as BSCSD and had many opportunities to do so. I am enrolled in full IB courses and take supplemental AP courses when IB isn't offered in an area. There is obviously room for improvement, as there is with every institution, but I am glad that I came to Ballston Spa and was able to be a part of the BSCSD community.

Some years classes alternate and get dropped every other year. The counselors dont tell the students, they have to find out by themselves. The counselors ar...
