Rainey McCullers is a very diverse, open school. I have had many moments in this school where I was overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, and/or drained, but I had many more instances where I was enjoying classes and preparing for my future. It's a very expecting school and tends to be pushy (sometimes in the wrong direction), but compared to other schools I've been too, it's a light in a dark alley.

Rainey McCullers School Of The Arts is lacking in many academic ways, but makes up for it by allowing lots of freedom in arts & music. The school lacks many advanced courses, and the administration has difficultly keeping up with advanced students. Besides all of that, the school is extremely nice and has amazing facilities.
