Balfron High School is a secondary school situated in the village of Balfron, approximately 18 miles (29 km) west of Stirling and 16 miles (26 km) north of Glasgow.

The catchment area extends over most of West Stirlingshire including the villages of Arnprior, Balfron, Balmaha, Blanefield, Buchlyvie, Croftamie, Drymen, Fintry, Killearn, Kippen, Milton of Buchanan and Strathblane, along with the hamlets of Balfron Station, Boquhan, Buchanan Smithy, Dumgoyne, Gartness and Mugdock.

The school also has pupils attending from other nearby areas of Dunbartonshire and Stirlingshire.

The old school was known for being too small, due to the use of many mobile classrooms that were originally only meant as a temporary measure.

In fact the mobile classrooms stood for many years and remained until the school was demolished.
