I first started SPA with a lot of fears about the school but it quickly went away when I started going to the classes. It has a lot of diversity and the staff are very nice. Perfect fit for any performing arts student!

The only good thing I got from SPA was my friends. I had to leave in the middle of my second year because my grades were dropping and the people around me kept depending on me to fix their problems. My mental health deteriorated fast so my parents moved me to a different school. From what I hear from my friends who still go there, it's only gotten worse since I left 2 and a half years ago.

It is so bad, even one of the original founding administrators jumped ship to return to a public high school. Here is a simple list as to why you should not consider this school: 1) Academics are not emphasized: The learning program used is designed for "Home Schooling" or self-paced learning. This...
