"I'm not sure what the hoopla is about the new principal. There seems to be a lot of "veneer" (painting walls, chosen mascots), but nothing of substance."

"I am a student at Blaine. Its a great school and I enjoy going there. You probably should read the more recent comments because they are with the new principal. Our old principal was old and wrinkly and, well, eww! Our school is MUCH better then it was last year and is getting better every day.Sadly, i can agree with one old comment-the "Blaine moms" form little groups and can be really snotty. Ignore them. They're evil"

"Hats off to Mr. LaRaviere and his decision to take Blaine's future in exciting new directions. His intolerance for negativity is refreshing. His focus on improving teacher and teaching quality is outstanding. His commitment to the school is notable. His hiring decisions have altered the atmosphere of the school in the best way possible (esp. with addition of new assistant principal). My kid is going to be at Blaine for the next 8 years and I'm excited for his future."

"Blaine has just got a new principal and I have to post the positive upbeat atmosphere at our school as a result. Thank you Mr. LaRaviere for bringing much needed change to our classrooms, parent/LSC meetings, and a smile to teacher faces. The new Blaine website is incredible and gives a sense of the direction this school is headed under new leadership. Now, if only we could sort out CPS...."
