its good, students get along, most teachers are respectful, and they have a really great dance class.

Some of the best parts about Blake High School are the teachers. Particularly, my teachers in the AP program have all been very enjoyable to work with while also providing me with a cohesive learning experience. A downside to Blake, however, has been the student body. I feel a lot of the people here are very judgmental, and not fitting in to a group's standard causes you not to be accepted.

Blake is a great school if you like art like dance and stuff. While i at blake i took tap class and it was wonderful to learn the school has many classes to choose form but one downfall is that they have bad kids and it can be distracting in class and they always have fights in school but overall it...
