I would say that James Hubert Blake High School has a very diverse community and a welcoming environment. Many of the staff are kind and helpful and the music program is great and has really helped me with making new connections and friends.

The school is a Fine Arts and Humanities school. Any sort of creative or artistic pursuit is very encouraged. My interaction with the sports culture has been limited but it seems healthy. The school does have a drug problem but isn't particularly crime-ridden.
