I like the size of Ballard, it's pretty large so there's a lot of different people you will meet. However, it is a majority white school so there isn't much diversity. In my experience, Ballard has the classic high school cliques which is not super appealing. There are a lot of AP classes to take and fun electives though!
In sum, my high school experience was average, taking into consideration that everyone my age went through the pandemic. Many of my teachers dealt with it in stride and began using technology efficiently, though it was clear some teachers did not understand their training. My peers were generally respectful and kind though once you establish who you are friends with at Ballard it isn't easy to break into new groups. Moving away from the people aspects, the school was always pretty clean and well taken care of.
Its definitely and interesting environment! Lots of amazing teachers who care about their students but administration is lacking when it comes to disipline and management of the school.
