We have had a wonderful experience so far at Blair. The Ovations Theatre program is outstanding -- they do a Shakespeare play every year, including text analysis that in my opinion is at a college level. The IB program is excellent preparation for college work, and college admissions officers know this (Blair grads get into amazing universities)!

As a student, my time at McKinley was a bit short of expectation. It was the first school I attended after moving to the US and I immediately encountered bullying. I was placed in a class with english speaking children and was put behind Duolingo while everyone else did their activities, which made me fall behind. Moving up grades I became more proficient. I wasn’t any trouble, so often times one of my teachers would send me to accompany another student to the bathroom as the instructor was afraid the student would ditch instead. Thinking about it now, it’s a very odd system. I would also often get cussed out by the students even though it was not my fault. I also witnessed foul language being said towards teachers, and a teacher even quit halfway through the year due to the bullying coming from the students. Not a fun school.
