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.

I personally love my experience at blake I think it's a great school. I came to do dance and I love to do it. All of my teachers are nice and respectful everyone here is respectful!

Most of the staff at James Hubert Blake High School are just there to get paid; they don't care what is going on. The only reason I transferred was for sports.

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...
