I love how proponents of super size schools always taught the depth of obscure clubs available and skirt around the impact of academics, administration, and discipline at an unmanageably large school.
Clearly you know nothing about Blair.
Why you even commented?

Blair may be huge, but it runs like a well oiled machine with. Top notch admin. I think the pp with the clubs might be mistaking the TV studio/news show BNC for a radio station, or maybe she’s thinking about the podcasts the kids do.
Welcome, OP!
+1 the school is well run. I am impressed by the admin/ counselor communication with parents/Blair community.

Just facts.
Blair also has an award-winning student newspaper.

But size does mean you have more class options and even greater differentiation!

Some of my kid’s AP classes have 15-20 students. Higher level language classes seem to be on the smaller side. Honors classes are larger—about 35 students. The size of the school doesn’t bother my introverted kid. He says there is plenty of activities to do at lunch or after school.

I went to the Blair open house last night. Holy smokes, that’s a gigantic school! 3200 students? How many students per average class, like 9th grade English? How does your Blair student fare? I try to imagine my kid starting there next year and am having trouble picturing it.
