My experience at Grand Prairie Fine Arts has been truly incredible so far. From core academics to whatever art strand you find yourself in, you learn a lot from the teachers and the students as well. As a currently enrolled student in the vocal music strand, this school has helped me hone and shape my skills to not only excel in the theory of music but what it takes to really reach that level of professionalism you'll need after high school. The teachers are amazing and understanding when it comes to schoolwork assignments but of course, it's best to turn in work on time! The school itself is very lively. People have the freedom to be themselves, whether you are a rockhard emo or love to dress in pink unicorns head to toe, everyone is unique and you'll find so many other people people who are willing to get to know you believe it or not. If you're a student who is interested in the fine arts then this is definitely a great place to look into.
I’ve attended GPFAA since the sixth grade. As the years go by this school has definitely changed for the worst. Administration is unprofessional and rude, teachers have very obvious favoritism toward students, and our safety protocols are dismissed for the most part. Dress code here is way more important to staff than anything else. Sexual assault and assault allegations have been excused in this school, leaving the student who did it roam free. This school definitely needs its humbling; they attach themselves to the “blue ribbon” title so much they forget how to be a communicative school.
The Grand Prairie Fine Arts Academy Isn’t just another private school. In fact, it is open up to the public! Going to this school might be one of the greatest decisions of my life. Now although we aren’t the normal school with all the clubs and sports, we specifically specialize in the fine arts! Not only did i make friends of my lifetime, I get to do what I love here, sing! Everyone here is so thoughtful, smart, creative, and we are all just one big family. I will always remember this school as it will always be apart of my life. Go Phantoms!
