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.

BHBL School District definitely cares about the academic success of its students. My time there was spent half online through covid and half in person. I have no large complaints but the rules felt very strict and some staff seemed to abuse their authority over students.

As high school comes and goes every student goes through trials and tribulations. High school wasn't the easiest for me but I wouldn't have wanted to attend any other school. Burnt Hills Ballston Lake High School has the best staff, and teachers. Without attending this school I wouldn't have become the kind, strong, and hardworking woman I am today.

Both parents and staff have hi...

This school district is known for the athletics and the athletes are favored as a result. This district has a problem with bullying, and drugs, just like any other school district. The high school is full of cliques and snobs and yes, some of the faculty is just as guilty of it. It's been very disap...
