We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

lower Manhattan arts academy is supposed to be an art school, yet it has quite little to do with the arts. many teachers are not good at grading and grade very unfairly. the school has some experiences with bad staffing. lower Manhattan arts academy is not a horrible school, but its not a good school either.
