Arts Academy in the Woods Reviews

My daughter was heading down the wrong path in her middle school. She felt alone, like an outsider, bullied. I found this school and within the first week I could see a huge change in her emotions, her confidence went through roof. she's No longer the outsider just trying to make it through the day. she's a student looking forward school next week. She comes home smiling not crying anymore. We love this school its a real high school, where you can be who you are and not bullied for it. Thanks AAW for giving me my baby back.

this school makes me feel physically ill and the staff wont stop the students from saying slurs please help

I recommend this school. This school saved my life. The school community is diverse and welcoming. I appreciate all the kind and wonderful staff. I love the fact that I could use my preferred name when the last school I was in shunned me for it.
I think the school needs to be funded more so we have better equipment but over all it is wonderful and I appreciate coming here everyday. I don't fear going to school anymore.

I wish they taught diversity and inclusion instead of tolerance. Tolerance is so 50''s and needed at the time, but I would like to think in the 2020's we are well beyond this way of thinking. On a very positive note, I must say that the winter concert was amazing!

To start things off the doors of the school are not locked, any person off the street could simply walk in the school at any tine. There are no security cameras throughout the school either. The staff especially the principal are horrible. An aquaintance of mine was forced by another student to perform oral sex in a hallway. Although she did report the incident the principal did little to punish the offending student and also punished the victim. Not only did he treat the situation inappropriately, but he joked about the fact that it happened and doubted the situations legitimacy due to the offending students reputation. Arts Academy In The Woods is an overall unsafe place with disgusting, immature, and unprofessional staff. I fear for my friends that attend this school and would urge anyone enrolling to find another option.

My daughter goes here, its a great school and my daughter loves it :)

Ugh where to start. Not a school for arts rather a last chance school. Staff that can t make it anywhere else. Run down building. Egocentric principal who wants to be addressed as Dr. you aren t curing cancer Mr Mitchell only a leader of a sinking ship. Clean your building give students consequences teach them marketable skills

Annoyed that my reviews have been removed. Not shocked but very annoyed!!

The staff at this school makes this more a political indoctrination institution than educational institution. Daily they push their liberal agenda down to the students. The students respond by joining in on the one sided discussion. I do not recommend this school for any children that have been raised as free and objective thinkers.

The staff here is not the best. Specially one teacher many of the young girls have said he gets very close.... better staff needed!

This is my daughter's 3rd year. The teachers are the reason she loves it so much. She has excelled in visual arts because of Mrs. Bernards dedication to the students. We can't say enough about ALL the teachers at AAW. Excellent staff! Although my daughter can go to school anywhere, we drive 45 miles one way and it's so worth it.

This school has great arts but the staff here is terrible. The principal picks on certain people so hope your not his person of target for the year. The staff is rude and have no respect .this school just needs to make a drastic improvement

One of the worst schools in the world!! Dirty and never clean they have bugs everywhere and no air also no heat in this school in the winter teachers never take there job seriously!! How do you call yourself an art school with no stage at all to show. Horrible "highschool more like middle you should shut it down.
