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 100% believe I would not have enjoyed high school the way I have if I had went to any other school. Ballard Memorial is a community driven high achieving high school that genuinely cares for their student and staff. They prioritize safety, academics and the future of their students. My children will attend Ballard Memorial High School.

I've had a great experience here small classes give close relationships with teachers and friends and leaves you with a personalized education.

It was a good high school experience for what it had to offer. It was small and quiet, but had a multitude of academic pathways. It focused on giving you choices weather that was college, military, or the workforce.
