Booker High schools is a divers school with wonderful education many opportunities for clubs and scholarships. The schools is also very safe. Would like to see more involving teachers and caring staff.

Lots of great teachers, but you really have to seek out rigorous academics. Also opportunities to be a part of loads of art-related activities and classes.

The VPA Theatre Program was the reason that I was attracted to this school, and I'm glad I was. It has been an amazing experience so far, and we have been able to do so many things that many other schools haven't been able to do. For example, attend a masterclass led by the famous playwright Paula Vogel and a music masterclass by Harry Connick Jr. Every teacher that I have had so far has been amazing, and I've been able to thrive as a student for the past 2 years.

But the reason why it's not a 5 star, is due to the academics. The teachers I had were mediocre. They either taught with all their might, or didn't teach at al...
