Niche Reviews
6/30/2025
Ballard High School helped me find my interest and follow my path. Teachers always encourage students to do their best.
4/26/2025
Ballard needs to fix their security and safety issues. The school commonly has bullying / drug problems. Ballard is not clean. Other than that, this school prepared me very well for college.
4/12/2025
Ballard hired teachers that were passionate about teaching. I took advanced and AP classes and always felt very prepared for tests. The only thing that would have made it better is to teach about how to apply to college at the end of junior year since applications open right BEFORE senior year.

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...
