Does anyone have any experience with Bladensburg High School?

I've had minimal experience with the school but here are my impressions.

The interactions I have had with the front desk staff have been pleasant.
I have emailed the guidance counselors about a scholarship opportunity and never heard back.
I have a co-worker whose children go there and she is satisfied with it.

It is our inbounds school and I am not even considering it for my kids. Mainly because I think they would have a hard time fitting in since the student body is less than 1% white. (They are in a elementary school that is 7% white now).

Some people who are zoned for Bladensburg either figure out a specialty program to go to or request an administrative transfer to Bowie High School (which is under enrolled this year). The deadline for those has past I think but you may be able to call Bowie High and see if a transfer is possible. You would be responsible for transport though.

I know they have a nice auditorium. My son is a musician at DeMatha, which would rather spend $$ on sports. So its world-class bands have to have their many concerts at public high schools. I've been to.many.concerts at BHS.
