Within the district, Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Senior High School stands out as a top-performing school, ranked 71 out of 1,242 high schools in New York with a 5-star rating. The school boasts exceptional proficiency rates on Regents/Common Core exams, often exceeding 90% in subjects like Algebra II, English Language Arts, and Global History and Geography.

The district's commitment to equity is evident in the consistent high performance across its schools, regardless of the economic background of the student population. With relatively low free and reduced lunch rates, the district appears to serve a population with relatively high socioeconomic status, which may contribute to the strong academic outcomes. However, the district's investment in resources, such as the highest per-student spending at the high school and smaller class sizes across the district, suggest a focus on providing personalized attention and support to all students.
