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.

Blue Ridge High school is full of a diverse crowd of people. One person I know of, that was a senior my freshman year, went straight into DCI (Drum Corp Internatinal) after graduating. Blue Ridge is a place where you can soar high If you use your resources wisely. But it is also a place where you can get caught up with some nasty people. All in all, I have begrudgingly loved my time here.

Overall a good high school. Population can be a little closed minded. The teachers seem to geniuely care about the students.

Both my older kids go to Blue Ridge. They have great grades and are challenged constantly to work hard. I have heard of other children struggling socially and on some classes so it all depends on each kid experience.

Teachers and student body is great but Administration is terrible and corrupt. No fairness when it comes to being a senior and transitioning to post-secondary education.
