Welcome to Ballard Elementary School!
"Where every day counts...1-180"

Ballard School is located in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley on the central coast of California in Santa Barbara County.  This public school teaches students from kindergarten to 6th grade.  In the early days, since the schoolhouse was the only public building in the valley, it was often used for church services, weddings, funerals and the meeting place of the Good Templar Lodge and the Farmer's Alliance.  It also has served as the site for lectures, social entertainment, lively debates, singing and Saturday night dances.  It is also featured on the Santa Barbara Cloud Climbers Jeep Tours.

If you have a great story to tell about Ballard School or old time photos you would like to share, please email us and we can include it on our website.  We want to preserve the history of our fabulous school.
