So far we love Blaney. The principal is wonderful and really cares about each and every student and makes a point to communicate with all parents on a regular basis.

Blaney is a simple school. No after school activities for the most part. Unless its with the Boys and Girls Club or Archery. They are also going through a principal change this year.

Kindergarten was a great success!! My daughter came home excited daily as she shared with me all the new things she learned about Math, Science, Music, compound words, etc. My daugher and I loved her teachers, Mrs. Goff and Mrs. McAvoy. She is definitely looking forward to starting 1st grade!!!
