Education
Blue School District 22 is the area school district, serving K-12. In 1984 Randy Collier of The Arizona Republic stated due to difficulties in transportation and from being far from other places, "the social life at Blue primarily is at the school."[4]
Previously Blue had a K-8 school, so Round Valley High School in Eagar, of the Round Valley Unified School District, served Blue for high school; some students lived with relatives in Eagar and some traveled to and from Eagar via school bus.[5]
Greenlee County Library System maintains the Blue Public Library in a log cabin adjacent to the Blue School.[6]
