McCallum High School is in fact an amazing Fine Arts school located in Austin, Texas. The diversity in race, religion, and the school-wide acceptance of the LBGTQ community is like no other. Also, McCallum attains opportunities such as AVID, CTE pathways, art-oriented events, outstanding sports programs, state winning vocal choir and theater programs, and student-led organizations. I would say that McCallum definitely has something for every student! The students at McCallum are heavily engage into their school community and their neighborhood community with student led programs like Student Council and the Rotary Interact Club. Overall, McCallum is a school with many diverse pathways, stories, and achievements.
McCallum has an extremely accepting and friendly community. Their academics are some of the best in the city, though some teachers detract from the experience, overall I have had a very good experience here. The main reason I do not give McCallum a better review is because of the building. Rat infestations (though not as bad as my freshman year), ant infestations, asbestos closets everywhere, water damage everywhere (including the newer building), mold, gas leaks, broken doors/railings, and the horrible over crowding. Students here find this a little funny, since McCallum has been said to be one of the oldest AISD buildings, only second to the bus barn. Regardless of how run down the building is, I would continue to pick McCallum over any Austin ISD school. It is honestly still an amazing school despite the building, I love going to McCallum High School.
This school is the most accepting school I've been to in my whole life. There is a group of people for everyone, no one is ever left out. School life is uplifting and there is a lot of students involved in trying to make the school the best it can be. There are an awesome arrangment of clubs. The fine arts program is a great opportunity to connect with others who have the same interests as you do. Being in the Fine Arts Program also won't limit you from being in other fine arts classes, sports, clubs, or any extracurriculars. The program is also a great way to be involved in the Austin community within your major.
