Summary:
Blair Elementary School and Blair High School are the area’s two schools, serving PK–8 and grades 9–12, with 117 and 63 students, respectively. In 2025–2026, both schools scored below the state in ELA and Mathematics: Elementary was 13% in ELA and 11% in Math, compared with state rates of 26% and 25%; High School was 9% and 0%. The two schools’ simple average was 11% in ELA and 6% in Math, so the largest shared academic concern is the especially wide Math gap.
Blair Elementary School leads the latest comparison in both shared subjects, by 4 percentage points in ELA and 11 points in Math. Blair High School is lower in those test results, but stands out positively on graduation and attendance: its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 82%, about 5 points above the state’s 78%, and its 2025–2026 chronic absenteeism rate was 11%, about 5 points below the state’s 16%. Elementary’s chronic absenteeism was 12%. These outcomes offer a more mixed picture of High School than test scores alone.
Recent score changes differ by school: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Elementary improved 5 points in ELA and 2 in Math, while High School fell 5 points in ELA and remained at 0% in Math. High School’s SchoolDigger ranking also dropped from the 42nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 1st percentile in 2025–2026; rankings are not proficiency percentages. In 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible rates were 80% at Elementary and 81% at High School, while student–teacher ratios were 9.7 and 11.7. These figures provide context, but do not explain the score differences. The area averages are simple school averages, not student-weighted rates.
