Douglas Anderson School of the Arts

I was in theater starting from sophomore year. Be willing to put work and a WHOLE LOTTA MONEY in because it can be very challenging for those who are not used to that type of lifestyle.Thankfully I got by and graduated last year but I wouldn't call these the best 3 years of my life. But then again, theater is a VERY competitive art area, I can't say the same for other art areas.

I am currently in my sophomore year at DA. Great school. I am in piano and it's challenging. If you are going into piano know your classical music well. Also academics are harder than what you'd expect at a normal high school. It's college prep so be prepared for anything. The other arts areas are really self explainable. Guitar is laid back but still difficult. Band is nice, there is a band director who is very strict, laid back, but strict. There is no marching band. Art is really laid back and fun. Orchestra is fun because of the teacher and everything else is great too. Dance is very uptight and my opinion is there are stuck up. Dance is still nice.

I am in 8th grade right now and am hoping to get the chance to be accepted into this school for the Cinematic Arts program next year. I've heard great things about this school, thanks to the many people in my family that attend or have attended this school.

Wonderful school. Also, i am in sophmore class, and my class beat Stanton for highest science scores, and we are ranked 130ish in thr nation for highschools. This is not just a art school, it is a prestigious academic center that receives over 10 million a year in scholarships (2 mill in orchestra program alone)

HORRIBLE! Great school for those that are making large $$$$ donations to the school. But for those that are middle class working parents the experience was DISGUSTING. The bullying that goes on and the fact that the staff does so little about it is scary. Glad I was able to get my nephew put of there.
