I moved to the school in 2022 an the school was very welcoming and kind. The teachers always came to class with positive energy and i never once felt like the teacher didn't want to be there and teach us about the subject. They always made sure the students were ready for an upcoming quiz or exam . They genuinely wanted to teach and spend time with kids. All around it was a great experience because of the teachers. I would say the only negative thing about the school is that its not involved with kids outside of school hours. I never heard of any clubs or activities happening after school hours.

My overall experience in Blaine High School has been great as I think about it. I had a great opportunity to learn so many things and if I ever needed help I have a lot of resources that I am able to reach out to and get the help that I need. I was able to join a club too during my freshman and sophomore year and had a really great experience during that as well. I was a cheerleader for our schools football team the Blaine Bengals who ended up going to the semi-finals this year which was really impressive. In terms of worrying about college I feel really prepared as we have a college advisor here named Mrs.Wolfe and she is extremely helpful and always has the time to talk with students and connect with them to help them figure out their best futures with them. I do really enjoy this school and I'm happy that I got the opportunity to be able to go here and experience all that I have.

Blaine High School offers really good programs and resources with programs like, CEMS(Center of Math, Engineering, and Science). But the environment isn't as great with the way the school is organized as well as staff. Other departments like extracurriculars, food, etc are average. They aren't great but aren't bad either. In fact that's how I would describe the school, good but not great.

The arts program is wonderful, and I've heard great things about the sports programs too. As a good student, the teachers enjoyed me as a good student. However, those with lower grades and less motivation did not receive the same treatment. To these students, teachers seemed to lack compassion for t...

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....
