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.

Special needs child was severely bullied by other kids, not supervised enough by teachers. Teachers themselves scream at the children. Teachers should not be yelling at autistic children, thats the #1 thing they teach them. Overall horrible school, teachers are just there for the money, severe bully...

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.
