My experience at this school was amazing in middle school. It's very inclusive and you learn a lot academically and morally. Plus if you are interested in the arts whether it be dance, visual art, music, acting, tech, etc, it is a really good school. Even if you don't know much about the arts, the school has a system that will help you decide what art you can pursue. It is a bit different in high school though. All the regular high school drama and such but less of the ideal high school experience. There is no Homecoming, no sports except for soccer and ultimate frisbee, and the school is not that funded. But the experience is worth while even if you do feel like you hate your life in the moment!
Pioneer Valley Performing Arts Charter Public School is a fantastic community with very friendly students and teachers. I have been at Pioneer Valley Performing Arts Charter Public School from 7th grade to 12th grade and looking back enrolling here might be the best decision I have ever made. I feel so lucky to be a part of such a caring and open-minded community, and being able to experiment with so many different forms of art (even as a student who will not be pursuing the arts), has been an invaluble experience for me.
Pioneer Valley Performing Arts Charter Public School has vastly improved my life. I first attended the school in hopes to pursue a career in musical theatre, but it was there that I fell in love again with visual arts. In my experience, the teachers are accommodating to students' needs and care deeply for what they do. This is reflected both in the classroom and outside of it. There have been multiple occasions where teachers have bought outside materials for student's projects and create tool kits for entire classes. Teachers also encourage students to share what they do with others-- be it the answer to a question, a piece of art, or even a joke or song. I know for a fact that without the expertise and encouragement from teachers within and outside of my concentration, I would not be where I am today.
