Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing & Visual Arts Reviews
Rating 4.13 out of 5 527 reviews
Booker T is a great school if you are looking to expand your knowledge of the arts. It is great at helping students form connections, have performance experience, and work with college professors and prepare for colleges in the arts. However, if you are interested in academics there are a lot of schools out there which have much better offers than Booker T.
Booker T HSPVA Is an amazing school if you’re really passionate about the arts. This school grants you endless opportunities for both professional experience as well as personal growth!
I love Booker T. The administrators can be difficult and there are several unpopular faculty members whose positions I question, if not wish to see them removed. Overall, though, the friends I have made, the hours I have spent, and the experience I have gained is worth it.
