I've been attending OCSA since I was in sixth grade; I am now a senior. OCSA's culture is unlike any other and walking into a school filled with art is just that: fulfilling. You have the opportunity to take classes in other majors, collaborate throughout the arts, sell your art, play piano in the halls, and perform in the monthly recital. It's also a great community for LQBTQIA+ kids and most teachers respect preferred pronouns and will keep dead names dead. But the bullying here is different, it's shady and cutthroat; the higher the competition the stronger you have to be especially with classical teachers who are known for favoritism. The most problematic majors are dance (in middle school, not in high school), theatre, and band while the safest is technical theatre (little to no competition with a sense of home). On the bright side: little to no fights, drugs, and sex in the bathrooms. Come to OCSA, but make sure it's the right decision for you; it takes commitment.
The Osceola County School for the Arts (OCSA) is a school full of possibilities. The administration and teachers are amazing and supportive. It is the perfect setting for students aspiring to become artists. The multiple majors, clubs, events, etc. present opportunities that are unmatched. I attended OCSA as a band major from grades 6-12. I wish that there is funding for the school to have a state-of-the-art facility. I also hope they incorporate piano as a primary instrument (for band, orchestra, vocal, etc.). I auditioned on piano but I instead played percussion because piano is not considered a primary instrument. OCSA is great at creating exceptional musicians and artists. I feel, however, that I did not get the most of this experience because I could not play my primary instrument. Overall, the experience of OCSA was essential to journey as a musician and an artist in general. I could not be the person I am today without OCSA.
I've been at this school since the 6th grade, and this is my senior year. I've seen the school change drastically, and go through three different administrations, and the quality of the school has dropped slowly, over time. It's gone from a "school of the fine arts" to a "school of the arts," and that's not entirely a bad thing, nor is it the administrations' faults. Primarily, it's the district, as their attempts to conform the school to their standards have degraded it. Still, the school is an excellent option for anyone who wants to study the arts early, and it has an excellently challenging academic track.
