Demographics
In 2004, the school had the largest enrollment in the Montgomery County public school system, with 3,294 students. The number has since dropped to 2,788 for the 2009–2010 school year, in part because of the reopening of nearby Northwood High School in 2004. Blair is notable for the diversity of its student body: African Americans make up 25.9% of the population, Caucasians 24.0%, Hispanics 29.2% and Asians 16.8%. Because of its proximity to Washington, DC, its large, diverse population, and the numerous awards it has won, Montgomery Blair High School has hosted heads of state and other dignitaries over the years.
