Overall, Blackman High School gave me a lot of memories. Some of my fondest memories was attending my senior prom a few months ago, hanging out with friends between classes and after school, and all of the extra senior activities included in the fourth year. However, attending my FIRST year of highschool during lockdown and having to social distance made it hard to build new friendships as a freshman.

Made it difficult to take classes for college credit, only offered some classes. If I had taken more I would have felt more prepared

This is the worst school! Bullying is a huge problem and they don't do anything about it. They sweep it under the rug so that it doesn't get out and they can continue to be a"great" school. Principal is just awful and is not fit for the job! They also do not really care about your child's education....

My son's experience was terrible! Upper classman males haze and sexually harass younger males and it is over looked. The school is way over crowded and bullying is also a problem!

This school used to be a good school but over crowding has led to over whelmed teachers which aren't able to teach. Bullying is out of hand there!
