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.

I always felt accepted and like I belonged at Blair. I love how diverse it is and everyone can be themselves. I felt like a lot of the teachers here are passionate what they are teaching about and it shows by the way the go into depth, which helps the learners.

I think Blair is a very diverse school, but it's also very clicky it would be rough to come into this school being a new student , and since it being the biggest school in Maryland it's very crowded and easy to get overstimulated in
