Professional Performing Arts High School Reviews
Rating 3.8 out of 5 151 reviews
Great school for kids that are really passionate about performing arts. It is very challenging and you have to be ready to push yourself and be pushed. It is common for students to realize senior year that they don't want to pursue performing arts in college, and that is totally okay!
I love PPAS, HOWEVER, they don't have an endowment which makes it difficult to get the proper equipment to perform, such as microphones!. The worst part about PPAS is their preference for the Musical Theatre program. They fundraise heavily for MT and do close to nothing to support the Drama, Voice, Dance and, film programs. Also, I feel like they are not selective enough. It's a performing arts High School, I shouldn't have to compete for performance opportunities with students who want to major in science!?
This school has a great environment as it is small and intimate. The resources that students have access to for their performing arts classes are phenomenal and it is easy to create deep connections with your teachers. With that said, I wish there were more opportunities for AP classes and electives, as well as better kept facilities.
