About Ballard Elementary

Description provided by the district or community — not part of the NCES dataset.

The Ballard School came into being three years after the founding of the town of Ballard, the first town in the Santa Ynez valley and the seventh in Santa Barbara County. With the town growing rapidly in its early years, the need for a school became readily apparent and the Ballard School District was officially formed in 1882.
