McCallum is an excellent school where I learned what I wanted to do with my life. The Fine Arts Academy is an excellent program for aspiring creators, and adequately prepares students for their respective fields. You can tell that teachers and administrators care about their students, and want to see them succeed. During my time, there were a few safety concerns, but faculty are trying to better the school as much as they can. I would highly recommend!
McCallum provided a great and unique high school experience! The school was diverse, however, the school was greatly segregated (hence 4, not 5 stars). The English department was phenomenal from 9th-12th grade.
McCallum's staff and faculty put students at the heart of all their decisions and worked very hard to prepare students for college. Teachers at McCallum cared deeply about the success of their students and allowed them to explore interests in the classroom and beyond. However, the "regular" classes varied drastically compared to the AP coursework in terms of difficulty and really made an impact on a students experience at the school. There was noticeable segregation between AP and "regs" students. However, the art scene at McCallum was alive and an integral part to my experience at McCallum.
