My daugher is in the 9th grade. She may transfer out of her current school starting next year. Does anyone have anything-positive or negative-that they can tell me about Waggener or Ballard? I would especially like to hear from current or former students. Thanks.

I have found two sites that are a wealth of knowledge in making school choices:

greatschools.net & kde.state.ky.us

 

Greatschools.net ranks schools and offers parent/student reviews.  FYI-Waggener received a "greatschools" ranking of 2 out of 10 and a parent ranking of 3 out of 5 stars.  Ballard received a "greatschools" ranking of 9 out of 10 and a parent ranking of 3 out of 5 stars.  I think you'll find the site helpful and informative.

The KY Dept. of Education Statistics re: CATS/NCLB/KCCR/and other academic indexes can be found at kde.state.ky.us. for each school in the JCPS district.  It is nice to be able to compare schools and this site makes that available.

Good luck!

Thank you. I knew that Waggener's test scores were really low, especially compared to where my daughter is now, but I wondered if just the general environment of the Waggener or Ballard may be better for her. I enjoyed reading the comments on great schools.
