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.

I have moved around quite a bit but no place as a more supporting community than Balko Public School. Every event you pretty well see the whole community there. This school also has very nice facilities. They have had a new renovations and have nice transportation for all students. Not only are those great but you build great connections with teachers. It is a great small school.

This school was great. The community really cares about the students and encourage you in whatever you do. They show up to most every activity even when they are out of town. It is a small town but it's a very caring community.
