Blackstone Academy Charter School
I think blackstone is an amazing school. It gives many people opportunities and one on one help fromteachers. There shouldn't be a reason why you fail a class or stay back. Even though we are a small school, we have the same chances for scholarships, and acceptance rates in all colleges.
