This school has allowed me to try different art styles throughout my middle and high school years. I've done photography, choir, and different art classes which I've gain skills in. On campus we always have performances in the middle of our school and it creates a sense of community. Overall, I am happy I was picked into SDSCPA as it has given me a wonderful experience as a student.

Get a better campus. More involvement for majors other than Jazz, and Orchestra, Music theatre, Dance, and Tech.

An arts-focused tuition-free public school serving students from over 60 zip codes across San Diego County. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

If you care about your child’s education you may want to stay away from this school. The learning material is not challenging enough for the grade levels and there is so much bullying going around. Find a better school for your student.

The SCPA that I know is wonderful. My child has attended for two high school years now. The current principal is excellent and caring. My child never had a teacher she didn’t like. Her academic counselor is on top of things and always replies within 24 hours, typically much sooner. Through the schoo...
