Ball Ground Elementary School
Ball Ground is a GREAT SCHOOL!!!!!! I attended Ball Ground for four years and was very impressed, on how the teachers gave me step by step instructions if I was ever stuck on a a problem or anything else. But was not satified in the fifth grade. The teachers seemed as if they could careless if I was stuck, taht they expected me to help myself.......
