Ballantyne Elementary

My kid had autism. He had issues having lunch on his own... I have seen many days he came in empty stomach when he leave the home at 7. We complaint multiple times no great action or care has been taken in his improvements.

It is true that there are only a dozen students in each grade of high school; however, this provides excellent visibility for each student. This also helps students across grades get to know each other and make friends. My child joined BISC after middle school and was very timid in new environments then. 'Leadership' was not in her vocabulary. The teachers have been very responsible and patient, helping her build confidence in class. Now in the last year of high school, she has become the leader of a club she founded at school, and she is no longer afraid to give public speeches, and she has grasped excellent writing and organizing skills. All of this has been really helpful in her college applications. And she was admitted by her dream college. Overall, I am very thankful to the teachers and friends at this school.

Good school and teachers are very educated and kids get good manners

Incredible school, administrators are so hands-on and aid in drop-off. The guides are wonderful and patient, really inspiring the Children’s minds to problem solve and be patient. Grounds are pretty cool and amongst nature. My daughter just loves it though she sometimes gripes about the “work is too hard” which I find to be a good thing. (Read: it challenges her to push beyond complacency) Don’t want my kid going to a school that’s easy.

Its a great school. The academic rigor is fantastic. My child got the best support both academically and extra curricular. The gifted program is pretty competitive. Your math and ELA needs to be in the very top percentile in the state/ country to do well in this program. The spelling bee program is fantastic too. Continuous stream of winners at district and state level.
