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.

I really liked how my high school offered classes to prepare me for college. I especially liked my medical terminology class since I'm planning on going into the medical field. I also enjoyed my phlebotomy class. The teachers were very helpful and patient while I was learning my new skills. I truly feel that they cared about each students success. My math teachers actually stayed after school to tutor me. That made a big difference and I was able to improve. It helped my confidence as well as the individual attention to master the skills needed. I went from an average math student to being able to excel and get that A. I am very grateful for this school and all the opportunities it provided me with.

I've always had a great experience at Blazer! It's always been a good school to me and has taught me a lot of great things. The teachers are wonderful and the students aren't bad students. We have great academics and a great football team! Everyone is involved here at Blazer.

The school is the one of the best in the area, but has counselors that don't really do their job and the school doesn't really get you ready for college.
