My overall experience at this school has been overwhelmingly positive. As a BHS student, I have been afforded so many opportunities to further my education and pursue my passions. Both the academic and extracurricular options are very extensive. Students are heard at this school, and we have input in the things that affect us. In my time at Ballard, there has never been a moment where I wasn't proud to go here.

Ballard high school was a great experience and it was great to attend. The teachers are very helpful and so are the school administrators. The classes and the clubs were fun to attend. There are so many different experiences that you can have at this school. Many ways to reach out to different people and learn about different people.
