The School For Creative Studies is a pretty good school, for now it ranges from 6-12 grade but it's later just going to be a middle school. It is a old school building, in the woods, in the country.

I love the fact we have a Art Program, Mac Books, a 3 week vacation, and a good Digital Media program. But last year we had 3 English teacher switches, the lunch is horrible, and I don't like the fact we can't sit with our friends anymore.

She finally has friends and confidence. She's excited for school. She went from begging to not go last year, to begging to n...

The school has built a rep of being very rowdy, however, its very easy to avoid conflict in this school. In spite of how small the school is its very easy to find a community that you fit into.
