Cleveland School Of Arts Lower Campus

This review is a school year old, but serves its relevance, and Im willing to update how the school is doing by edits. Sophomore here. I have been in CSA since freshmen and to that I say, this school gotten worse in a span of a school year. Freshmen year was great in comparison to this year. The new administration changed everything that made CSA a unique school (The only thing that is unique are the students and the great diversity) and speaking of, thats where most of the problems lie. There have been reports of unfairness and lack of communication as well (usually say events last minute or none at all etc). I hope CSA steps up next year, it hurts to have a ill thoughts about a school I was happy to go to everyday. There are many of us who think the same. If you happen to find this review, I encourage you to speak up about your ill feelings too. Many of our feelings toward the school feel dismissed (Ex: mental health not being a concern and taken seriously is something I hear mutiple times) and rather not share them at times because the staff makes us uncomfortable (more so the admins), but this is one step further to possible improvement. If nothing happens, theres atleast awareness. Edit 01/30/24: Hey people! Now a junior in the school, and Im satisfied that there are parents AND students speaking up about these issues more than I expect because the review page werent getting touched, and that concerned me. I read all of them, and I couldnt agree more. I just wanted to update and say that NEAR nothing improved and its unfortunate. These issues more so arrive because of the careless admin and me and other students, parents, alumni, and other people I wont just put under the bus, feel like they are using us for money and their only focus is to be the top school, praise performing arts and leave the other majors out, and nothing else. If not this, they are not satisfied on what CSA has became. Most of the admin truly do not show care for the students and benefit of the doubt, if they did, the favoritism and mistreatment of students is OFF the charts. Really just a lack of professionalism here. Edit 10/6/24: I almost forgot to check back on this, senior now though so this is the final edit Im making, and I can confidenty say that I will be keeping my rating the same. Little have improved and it disappoints me greatly. The unprofessionalism comes down to admin to even the lunch ladies (being rude and straight up act like children themselves, no one gives them a reality check.) And the favoritism is still apparent. (For example, a very popular kid in the school ran and won for president by cheating. Instead of disqualifying or doing a revote, they still let him be president. I doubt if someone was a nobody in the school, they would've reacted different. Either way, that's not how it's supposed to go no matter the student. ) I wont write very much else because i'll be repeating myself, but Im saddened my last year isnt going to be better than the last 2.

I’m in 8th grade thinking about coming to this school it seems like a really interesting and cool school I hope I can come for a tour eventually but I’m gonna be honest my grades haven’t been the best because my mind wasn’t entirely focused on school. And I regret that but I’m putting my full time and effort into bringing my grades up. And I wanna know if it would be possible to get accepted in if my grades are good please let me know.

This is my daughter’s freshman year. I thought this school would be a great opportunity for her visual arts major but it’s nothing like I expected it to be. You can barely reach anyone at the front office. I was hesitant because this is her first year going to a Cleveland public school, so I assumed it would be different since it’s a art school but I was wrong. She will not be returning next year.

My granddaughter goes here. This is her first year. The children's are bullies, Look down on others, Teachers talk about student . Favoritism , no protection, no good teaching methods they kick you out first time grades are low not offering help.

Hi I'm Dominic in 8th grade this school seems lovely and me and some friends have been thinking about entering. She is awesome, good grade trys really hard and I hope you can expect to see her there, Me on the other hand I've been struggling with some stuff in math Ela and social studies. I've been striving to get my stuff done in school and be focused on what I wanna do with my life and I think I found it,I wanna make great art! I wanna be at a school that helps to intreage the students to do work instead of just trying to shove knowledge in there head with little to no background! And this school looks like I can rely on them to encourage me to ask for help instead of lectureing me. So I hope to be there oneday too.
