absolute scam, the insane tuition doesn't match up with anything the school provides: incompetent faculty members who give terrible grades, dilapidated dorms and poor food service. As appealing as it may seem on paper, the environment Blair provides is no where near college-ready. Students can often feel targeted and unjustly treated by both peers and faculty members and have nothing to do about it. Won't recommend, absolute waste of money. Also this is a moneyhole, all they care about is donation... if you're no where near wealthy you will feel inferior.

I loved this school for my daughter! She came in as a shy Freshman and left as a confident Senior. I'm impressed by the school culture of caring and the wonderful faculty who work so hard to forge personal relationships with the students.

After Blair, I attended a top liberal arts college and the graduate school at Dartmouth, medical school and training at both Cleveland and Mayo Clinics. As great as these other institutions are, Blair was the greatest educational experience of my life!

As a parent of a recent Blair graduate, I give this school the highest rating. The faculty worked hard to bring out all his talents and offer him leadership opportunities. Most independent schools will tell you that they do this, but many do not. It's a great school from the Headmaster on down. Ther...
