I am a recent graduate from the 2019 school year, Paseo was a wonderful family to be a part of. Paseo is a part of the Kansas City, MO Public School system, with that being said there are a lot of flaws in the school system curriculum wise, but the Paseo Academy teachers do their best in working with what they have. Given that it is a performing arts school, academics do come first no matter what. There is always programs/performances occurring and in order to participate, your academics must be up to par no matter how important your role in the program is, if the requirements are not met then you have to give up your spot. I feel that that drove us as students to do better not only with academics but with behavior as well. When there is a good system put in place that is strict but not too strict to where students don't want to be a part of it, it helps the success of everyone. I will always be proud to say that I am an alum of Paseo Academy.
My experience at Paseo has been wonderful, I have been their since my 7th grade year. It’s a very good diverse school, we have a lot of talented students and some of the best and care teachers. The things I would like to see change is lunch and I feel like Paseo should be a school where students can be there selves. I feel like junior and senior should’ve more to time to prep for the ACT, and all Paseo do is worry about our dress code! Sometimes the students feel like the facilities cares about the dress code more than they care about our education
My experience at Paseo was a wild one! There were years that encouraged me to become a better artist and there were some that discouraged me pursuing my dream. Even with the small change of faulty, which cause mayhem for one whole year, I managed to fly by with my major classes successfully
