Built in 1923, Ballidu State School and Grounds comprises a single storey, timber framed, weatherboard clad structure with a corrugated iron roof. A school flat was attached to the rear, but this was removed in 1970. The place consists of a main teaching block, art room, pre-primary transportable classroom, gardener’s shed, open undercover area, three water tanks and playing fields to the north and west.
Prior to a school being constructed on this site, the original (former) hall provided a venue. On the 4 September 1922, the school opened in the hall with 17 students. In September 1923 a new school was constructed on this site and opened in 1924. A "school flat" was attached to the rear of the school, the room provided accomodation for the female teacher. In 1959, it was still the female teacher's quarters, but in c1970 it was removed, and a GEHA house provided on a different site for teacher accommodation in 1972.
