As an anonymous graduate, I'd give Blade a 3/10. I do not recommend going there nor do I recommend sending your child there. It looks like a five floor prison inside and out. Mean, academically underprepared, incompetent students and unwilling, incomprehensible, and often times ridiculous staff both teacher and assistant principal. They attempt to reach out to families for meetings but they do it hours before said meeting and giving little time and options to parents who are working or studying. Blade is constantly under prepared and the students suffer because of their lack of organization. Because of this, I did not get a senior trip. Not to mention all of the fundraising is because of their lack of readiness and insanely overpriced. We had a fundraising for our senior package two years after all of the other schools in our neighbouring counties. Despite raising hundreds of dollars, I still had to pay for a senior package that included lackluster merchandise. It cost ~170 for that when I expected much more. The security for Blade is ridiculous. Giving attention to students wandering the hall than through metal detectors and giving attention to students who they are comfortable with knowing they should be in class. If anything, they are encouraging them to skip.

The front desk Lady is always rude, when you need basic information like what color of uniform in a rude way she tells you go to the website. Last year I bought the wronf uniform because the website wasn't updated I just want to make sure she hang up

I don't think this school is doing well because the new principal takes policy that affect students at dismissal time she doesn't care that students get wet when is raining because parents are not allowed to wait for their children in the front door outside she says that parents have to wait at the other side of school and the county said that the principal can do whatever she wants
