My experience with Ballard HS has been supportive, inclusive, and welcoming. The teachers are great, the classes are well paced and informative. There is a wonderful school community.
2/28/2025
I think the student clubs and parent involvement was a great level. I think there could be some more college prep available and resources that more people know about.
4/19/2024
Ballard High school is overall a mixed-bag. There are some great teachers who actually make learning engaging. However, there are many teachers who are not the most engaged with the curriculum and students

We have had an excellent experience with our daughter at Ballard HS. They have a great selection of AP courses and multiple clubs, not to mention their outstanding band and athletic program. All teachers I have interacted with have been professional and caring about their student’s achievements.
2/8/2021
I had a pretty good experience here after transferring from another school. The building itself could really use an extra wing, though. Most of the hallways and staircases are so narrow and they get extremely packed when kids get out of class, to the point that I genuinely believe there would be cau...
