Summary

Blaine High School is a public high school serving about 566 students in grades 9-12 in the Blaine School District, consistently performing above state averages in graduation rates and test scores.

The school demonstrates clear strengths, particularly in science proficiency and graduating students, with rates consistently above the state average. It has shown a strong historical capacity for supporting students from lower-income families and currently performs very well for its Hispanic student population. However, like many schools, it faces challenges, as test scores in English and math have seen recent declines, coinciding with a gradual increase in class sizes. It's important to note that Blaine High School significantly outperforms the average for its own district across all subjects.

When compared to nearby comprehensive high schools, Blaine holds its own. It outperforms Ferndale High School in English and science, and while Meridian High School has a slight edge in English, Blaine leads in science and has a lower dropout rate. It performs similarly to Nooksack Valley High School in core subjects, though Nooksack has a slightly higher graduation rate. Blaine spends more per student than several of these peers, which may contribute to its supportive environment despite the recent rise in student-to-teacher ratios.
