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!
Great fine arts school with many opportunities to get involved! I was in dance and made so many friends along the way, plus most faculty are very nice. You have the option to take regular vs AP (advanced placement) classes; I took AP and they were the perfect amount of challenging to prepare for college.
One day I was on campus, and the school band was leaving for a state competition. As they poured out of the building carrying their instruments to head out of town, I saw cheerleaders standing by the bus holding a giant paper banner covered in encouraging words and slogans like, "Go, Mac Band!" "#1" The band got to run through the banner the same way the football team does. McCallum has created a school culture where any kid can fit in and find support and inclusion, whether they're an artist, an athlete, or their own special thing, all while delivering excellent academics and nurturing the whole student.
