GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

At FWAFA I've discovered a place where I can thrive with other people who love the arts as much as I do. Everyone there is involved in something and it makes for an amazing community of people, and the fine arts classes are amazing, I've learned so much that I never would have learned otherwise.

It's a great school for those wanting to pursue careers in the arts. You spend 75% of your time in selected performing, visual or technical arts. Most of the teachers are amazing, they love to be there and are so supportive. Clubs explode here and are the backbone of the school. The college readiness needs work.

FWAFA is a small school which makes you feel like home, gives a sense of belonging and the atmosphere is so nice, the mindset of creating a creative, safe and positive environment for kids to grown academically but also as a person is really awesome! My son is very happy with this school choice.
