GreatSchools Rating
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.

The athletic area could use an upgrade, the food is typical school lunch, theater is a great class - the production aspect is very real.

In my four years at Ballard high school I have been impressed with the level of academics and care that are in the school. You can tell the staff really cares about the students and there is a clear effort put in to readying students for college and beyond.

Hi I’m an alumni that graduated Ballard! If you’re interested in joining the theater program be ready for favoritism especially in casting for the musical.

My sophomore attended private school all her life and wanted to experience diversity, respect and broader range of opportunities in high school without compromising quality of education or challenging curriculum. Ballard offers all that and more. You get out exactly what you put in, and my daughter...
