I am currently a Junior at this school, meaning I have not completed my academic career here. With that being said, I am enjoying my time here so far. An overwhelming majority of the teachers are incredibly helpful, kind, and care about the future of their students. AP classes are offered and encouraged. The staff to student ratio is ideal, ensuring every child gets tended to. There's MANY academic resources provided here and extracurriculars, such as Service Learning, virtual college tours, the NHS, the NAHS, a surplus of clubs, contests, and much more. The website for this school is also well-organized and easy to navigate, making it user-friendly to everyone. Parents are highly encouraged to stay involved in the school and student's life. The only thing that prevents me from giving 5/5 stars are the food and infrastructure. Though I have never tasted the food myself, it looks like your typical school lunch. The building is long overdue for a renovation and appears worn down.
I like almost everything about Weaver! The teachers and administration really care about the students and truly want to see them succeed. Our school culture is also very vibrant and unique. However, not everyone feels included and Weaver has some of the same problems as many other public high schools. Also, the facilities really need work and seem like they haven't been updated in quite some time. It's either extremely hot or very cold in the building. This does not diminish how amazing the staff is and how talented the students are. Weaver is a place where academic excellence is encouraged and fostered as well as a place where students can grow in their artistic pursuits.
Weaver Academy has a lot of promise, and a long way to go.
If you really appreciate your art, and are already grounded and proficient in it, than you will likely have a good time here. If you are only interested in your particular art, and are just trying to see if it might be interesting for you, I do not recommend this school. I cannot accurately speak to all sections of this school, but I assume this is quite the same throughout.
The school is massively underfunded, half of the walls are actually dividers, the air conditioning does not work most of the time, the campus is massively outdated, toilets are breaking and leaking and there is a lot of dust everywhere.
The people here, while more diverse and expressive than your typical high school class, are essentially the same groups you'd find anywhere. You are likely to find at least a few people you vibe with.
The teachers are very hit or miss, you either love their personality and their class, or you like neither.
