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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

on my first day of coming to James Hubert Blake high school I was so sad I didn't know nobody. I felt lonely. after few months I got used to it I found friends. The teachers here at Blake are very nice and helpful.

I recently just enrolled in Blake high school this past school year. overall I'd say my experience at Blake has been great so far, I've made amazing friends and absolutely adore my teachers. I was really involved in extracurriculars in my previous school in Ethiopia but have not really found anything that quips my interest(this could be because I have not searched hard enough) at Blake. I haven't done much this past year other than focus on my education. but I so hope that I'll be able to do a lot more during my last year at Blake.
