Milwaukee High School of the Arts Reviews
Rating 3.71 out of 5 222 reviews
I believe my best experience while attending Milwaukee High School of the Arts was ability for the school to allow its students to explore many different aspects of their specific major. Being that I was a music major while attending MHSA I was given the opportunity to learn how to play other instruments0 other than the flute which was my primary focus. I also was able to learn about the guitar, piano, percussion instruments and through an outside school resource I was able to learn how to play the steel pan at MYSO. I would say the worst part of the experience of high school was leaving and attempting to go to college. I believe this was the most difficult process for me because I was not prepared sufficiently to understand what to expect so I did struggle a bit after high school and had to take a gap year until I felt comfortable to return. I would like to see a change in that, I am now going to continue my education at WCTC and my major is in Accounting.
My experience in Milwaukee high school of the arts was pretty good I really like the diversity and the arts in the school. Everyone in the school are really nice. They treat you so kindly. The administrators are really nice to you. They take really good care of you. The teachers and the people around you help you decide what you wanna do in the future so that’s what I really like as well cause they care about our future.
It has a lot of diversity and also you able to dress as whatever you want the staff is here to help but I want them to change is our voice in some of the things they decide for us ideas that can help grow and develop the school.
