Artistically..the school has a wide variety of courses e.g in visual arts there is Photography, Life Drawing, Painting, Sculpture and Ceramics. Academically balanced as well, we do have AP classes though some of them are kind of weak.. I do say that since it's a new school it would be.. weak.. give it time and it'll be able to stand on it's ground.. The teachers are amazing, there not your typical high school teachers, they are artistic and the most understanding people, some of them though are kinda loony but all in all i'll give it 8|10 This is a good school when your children wants to pursue the arts, well it's good even if you're not focused on the "Arts" . They are also in partnership with CalArts so you can assure that your son/daughter will have an auspicious career with the help of the school :D Hope this answers your questions and if there's anything more just email me @ alexis_otaku19@yahoo.com First of all, I’m not a parent but I do go to the school and I will answer PN’s question..

The pictures fail to convey the discordant / schizophrenic quality of the place. It is like several designs mashed together, trying too hard to mix shapes and finishes, never settling on a cohesive plan. High concept in a way that will ultimately look dated, expressing the worst and not the best of contemporary design. It does serve as an interesting counterpoint to the Disney Concert Hall down the street - illustrating the positive aspects of the latter, and how modern design still requires some aesthetic sense and is more than the random combination of shapes with shiny surfaces.
