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.

Blanchester is an okay school. They do a lot to prepare you for college/life outside of high school. I know many people who have had positive experiences here. However, it has many flaws. Teachers often have trouble controlling their classes and do not know how to manage them without yelling. There is a major bulling problem, so much so that I know several people who have moved schools solely because of it. The water in the water fountains is cloudy. Overall, it's alright.

There are quality teachers who have been leaving due to poor administration. Excellent chemistry and biology teachers and curriculum. Most students do CCP classes due to a lack of class options. Administration gives favorable treatment based on family ties.

The condition of this school is gross. They always host events but not only is it far from everything and everyone, but when visiting you're greeted with bathrooms that are equivalent to a prison cell.

I have had three children go through the school district. The first one has already graduated, the second one is in high school, and the third in middle school. I will be pulling them out next year to go to an open enrollment school just so they can get fair treatment and a good academic foundation.

Great Principal and caring staff. We have 5 kids and they all love the teachers and administrators. I came from a large metropolitan area and I am impressed with the way the staff, parents and community comes together for the school and the kids. We are lucky to be in such a great small town.

Blanchester High School is progressive, new, and has a great staff of teachers. One of my children graduated in 2013 Class, and I have 4 more in High School, wouldnt change a thing about it! Our Principal has more passion about his students and the job he has to do with them than I have seen in many...
