GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The teachers at Blaine high school have been a great inspiration to me. I'm looking to go into physics and engineering for college, and I never would've had that motivation if it weren't for the clear passion and focus that the teachers showed me. I understand how learning can be fun, and how mistakes are just stepping stones. I feel very hopeful for my future, and I owe that to a lot of the teachers, as well as friends I made during my time here. I've met some amazing people at Blaine, and made great memories.

My overall experience at Blaine High School has been a time of growth and personal discovery. I experienced an academic comeback in 11th grade, taking my grades and GPA seriously up until this year (senior year). This year, I'm trying my best to maximize opportunities by joining more clubs, such as a volunteering club and healthcare club, and instilling more confidence in myself toward what I will do out of high school.

I just graduated in 2012 and overall my experience at Blaine was great. The teachers care a lot about students success however it comes down to the students choice if they want to do well or not. They have the opportunity in front of them. The principal now isn't very well liked by the student body...

I went to Blaine High School years ago, and my three younger siblings went there after me. I have come to the conclusion that if you are already a smart student, who gets good grades and cares about success, you will get along with the teachers and have a positive experience. That was my experience....
