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.

My overall experience with Blair has been positive, they have great programs for students. However, the way they prepare you for college and the environment is not the greatest. There is hardly a college counselor on campus and they do the bare minimum to help us. Helping students be prepared for college and life after graduation is something that should be improved.

Blair was a great school, The teachers were very supportive always. Although I do feel the school counselors weren't very involved with students. A lot of them just kind of did the bare minimum and I feel like that has affected my chances of going to a more competitive school. Student life at Blair was also very uneventful.

Blair was a relatively small school in regards to how a lot of the students felt about it. But it was still a good environment that I was happy to be a part of, even if school spirit itself was somewhat lacking.

I recently transferred to this school to finish my senior year and it was the worst mistake of my life. My academic transcript suffered horribly, I used to be a straight A student and I can no longer say that; I received my first F at this school. My mental health also dramatically declined. I can a...

My daughter attended Blair for half of tenth grade and it was the worst experience for her. Her counselor was not of any help, the teachers were unsupportive and we felt unsupported by the entire school. I wouldn’t recommend this school to anyone.
