Blachly School District

The Blachly School District is comprised of four schools serving a total of 600 students. It is located in a rural area, and many students come from single-parent families with less-than-average incomes. The percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch is 73 percent. Blachly has a reputation of high achievement and is known for great parental support. Approximate school building age is 35 years for the elementary school, 55 years for the middle school, and 65 years for the high school.

The district has applied for a 10-year $295,000 bond and is planning to renovate school facilities to accommodate the increased opportunities available to students. Blachly also would implement a long-distance learning program using QZAB funds. Pepsi-Cola would serve as the private partner and will facilitate a school-to-work program.
