My daughter completely loves this school. The teachers truly care about the children. Since we have moved here from belton school district my daughter has gone from pretty much failing to close to be a straight A student. The teachers want the children to succeed in both school and life. Best school
Posted by a parent on 10/6/2015I am currently in my 4th year workin at Ball and absolutely love everythuing about it! The choices that are offered to the students are incredible, you can't get what Ball offers at many other schools and the pride and spirit are spectacular...can't wait until my first born child attends Ball!
Posted by a teacher on 10/21/2014Ball high is diverse and totally askew. It seems like a "lockdown" environment but maybe it needs to be. Who ruined this school for our students? Something must have happened prior to 2004. I have 2 sons who are very bright and talented. One dropped out in his senior year and got a GED. The other is
Posted by a parent on 11/4/2013I was shocked the first time I visited Ball High! Many students are causing behavior problems in class which makes it hard for the teachers to teach and the students to learn at their full potential..All students are also marked "absent" if they are 1 minute late to a class. There is no time to use
Posted by a parent on 11/4/2013Last I heard, the Superintendent has cleaned out the subpar teachers through a reduction in force, discipline has been tremendously better, and the school looks a whole lot cleaner. Last year's valedictorian went to Yale. Hard to argue results like that. Give me a high school with perfect kids. Not

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThere are some great things at this school. The majority of teachers really care about their students and provide a strong educational foundation. However , the administration , particularly the superintendent ignores issues , rather brushing them under the rug for appearance sake. Including when it is reported a teacher is mistreating students. Teachers are overworked and taken advantage of to add another “checkmark” on the list of what is done. That said , the teachers here really care about the kids to be able to work here. So for many kids it is a very positive experience.Teacher Review4y ago - Ambassadors Preparatory Academy

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter has been at this school for four years now and we have never had a problem that was not addressed immediately and or resolved. This school has awesome teachers and students, my daughter has learned quite well for her age. And though we had part remote learning last yeart and will have some this new 2021 school year that I truly believe that my daughter will fall right in place for her grade this year due to her excelling prior to this pandemic. I will definitely send my child to this school.Parent Review5y ago - Morgan Elementary Magnet School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTo be quite honest, we were really nervous to send our son there. He had never stayed with a non-family member and now we were going to send him to daycare. Let me tell you, we could not be happier. The staff there truly love the kids. I'm constantly in awe of how they're able to manage and keep smiles on their faces. Our son is so spoiled and loved. Since starting EEP, he's really come out of his shell. The school is student focused and family centered. There are opportunities to get to know more families, my son has a great little group of friends, and the staff is so awesome. The hours can be a concern, but we do early drop off and extended day, which means that he's there from 7:45-3pm, which is pretty much a school day. If those hours work for you, DO IT. You definitely won't regret sending your kid(s) there.Parent Review7y ago - Burnet Elementary School
