Blanco High School is good for general education and sports. If you are play sports, are in Ag classes and are the top of your class, you are pushed to succeed. If you are shy or are not able to find your place in this small school, you are passed over.

Attending Blanco High School has been both great and poor. The classroom sizes are incredibly small, making it easier to connect with teachers and students. On the other hand, Blanco is so small that there are less opporutinities for certain classes people would want to take.

The faculty try their best to keep students safe at all times. There isn't a nurse on campus, but they can call her if she is needed. The nurse's office is full of band-aids and anything else that a student may need. The office ladies are always more than happy to help students if they need assistance in the nurse's office or if they need to see the counselor for any reason.
