Not really an "arts school" but rather a typical high school with arts electives. Arts are not integrated into the academic classes as one might expect. This school is known around Toledo for its overwhelming amount of homework. Even weekends and holidays are full of homework that was assigned at the start of the weekend/break and due upon return from break. TSA does not practice "equal opportunity" for all students. Many favorites chosen in dance and theater. Others do not have a chance to advance in those classes or perform on stage. How is a student to gain experience if they do not perform in front of others? Administration does not want to hear from parents or students regarding ideas to benefit the school or issues that arise at the school. Most troubling are teachers who every year belittle and bully students in their classrooms while administration does nothing, even promotes them to teach the CCP courses. Parent org sadly lacks any initiative to address issues.
I’ve had three children through TSA, and I wouldn’t dream of sending them anywhere else! We have great suburban public schools and private schools to choose from, also. TSA is an amazing school whose results speak for themselves!
TSA is the easiest possible place I could imagine going through the transition from child to adult.
The defining factor that makes TSA different from other schools that have arts programs is that the arts are at our core. It's not that we prioritize them over the academics, but instead, the fact that they're just as important to us makes us stand out.
The acceptance rates are higher at TSA than any other place I've ever known. It's impossible and incorrect to claim that there's no discrimination or bullying, but people at TSA tend to be kinder and more cooperative overall.
The teachers and staff have a passion for what they're doing, and it shows in the students' grades and their success rates after graduation.
I'll admit that TSA is not the school for everyone, but when the student's energy and excitement matches that of the other students and staff members, it's the most perfect environment for empathy, maturity, and identity to develop.
