Boston Arts Academy Reviews
Rating 4.01 out of 5 120 reviews
The first time I went to BAA, it was at first shared with Cash High School and was located across the street from the Fields Corner train station, on the first day of classes. As I walked into the building, I saw a swarm of teachers and students talking and seeking to identify which students are in Cash and BAA. It felt like my new life was about begin right here in high school. During those four years, it was a bit confusing on understanding the schedule and a few homework assignments were a bit frustrating to understand. But, luckily I had some assistance from a few students who were in my class and from my IEP teacher who helps those who have disabilities in learning, and finally I was able to complete them and move forward with the year. In my Sophomore year after new years, we had the pandemic and online classes. But the school still managed to come up with a solution on how to fix that for everyone which is why this school was the best school I ever went to.
Boston Arts Academy is a really good school for artists like myself, so in that aspect, it is fun. I get to dance in school and really work on my craft, at Boston Arts Academy it really prepares you for college because we have to juggle our art major and regular academics. My school has so many opportunities for me to perform and I loved every single moment of me getting to showcase my craft and what makes me happy. One of my biggest dreams is to become famous and Boston Arts Academy is helping make that dream a reality. Things I will change about Boston Arts Academy is its competitiveness of it because everyone is always battling to stay on top and be the best at what they do.
Boston Arts Academy is a great school to attend, especially if you are interested in the performing arts or visual arts. I am about to attend my Junior year and ill be more than glad to say that its a learning experience. I didn't get my freshman year sense school was closed because of COVID but I've learned a lot during year. It is a very hard school to attend, students have a longer schedule than other schools plus we have to work on time management sense we are being graded on both our arts and high school education. It does take a tole on students mental health but the community is very supporting and understanding sense this will only make us grow into the people/ artist we want to be.
