If you are looking for a safe, diverse, artistic school accepting all walks of life, D.S.A. is the place to go!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-08-30 “Having experience in public, private, and charter schools, I can say that this school is truly amazing. Our daughter is in her second year of middle school and we as parents are thrilled. The teachers are dedicated, the students are wonderful, and the productions are amazing. I do hope that the school continues on its mission to provide specialized arts-intensive programs and does not bow to the vocal minority to designated it as a GT program. My daughter is thriving and receiving a first-class education in a very diverse setting where individualism is respected and high achievement is honored.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-07-17 “I've gone there for years and have never been tired of my major. We do different things every year!” Posted By: student Quality Score: decline 2008-05-03 “I am a former student of DSA and recently left in the middle of the year to attend my local middle school because of DSA. They failed to meet my academic needs and the teachers were really mean and very rude to me and my peers. Along with the teachers being rude the students were also extremely mean. They bullied me and made my life very hard. I would come home everyday and cry. It makes me sad that I tried so hard to get in and then find out that I hated it. Overall I had a really awful experience at Denver School of the Arts.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-03-03 “When I heard about this school, I immediatly wanted to audition. Violin has always been my passion so I tried out, and got in! I love this school. The teachers, both academic and major teachers push you to do your best. That's just what I needed. Before being here, violin was many times annoying, but now I have friends that do the same. I love being around people who want to pursue their dreams. I've seen the most amazing kids here who have done so much just to be here. This is my favorite school ever! Plus, you can dance or sing in the hallways and you won't get yelled at!” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2007-11-08 “I'm a third year vocal major at DSA and that school is my life! This is the best school i've ever been to. I will be going into Highschool next year and i cannot leave this school. It is my home.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-10-17 “This is our daughter's 7th. year at DSA. For a student who has a desire to pursue the arts, this is the place to be. Academics are equal to any of the best schools. These kids are very busy, and on the whole they love it. Great school spirit and loyalty. Great parent involvement.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-02-26 “I have two children who have attended DSA. We have had overall positive experiences. The school has very high expectations of students, in both their academic work and their art work. There are no sports programs at DSA, however students can elect to participate on their 'home school' sports teams. This school is leaps and bounds better than the 'home school' that my children would have had to attend.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2007-01-21 “I go to DSA, and I find it an extremely good program. It is a magnet school, so be prepared to audition for you spot here. Sometimes I do feel that the academics are lacking, but I have still managed to get a quality education. The school is separated into 9 majors, Visual Arts, Theatre, Band, Orchestra, Piano, Dance, Video Cinema Arts, Stagecraft and Design, and Creative Writing. Most parents are involved and most students are dedicated. It truly is a great school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-10-24 “Having one child there who just matriculated into the school, I think that DSA academics are overrated. It is also very difficult to keep up with the posting of class assignments, as some teachers use their website spots and some don't. Summation: DSA has alot of in-house work to do to make it a truly great school. Parents should push hard for it.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2005-11-12 “As an alumni of DSA now attending a major conservatory for music, I can assure you that the quality of education DSA has to offer is phonominal. It's not for everyone, but if your child fits, encourage them. DSA alone will not make them great, but it provides amazing opertunities and a chance to experience a semi-professional setting. DSA students are well prepared to compete in both academic and artistic fields after graduating.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-05-29 “As parents of a 13yo girl, middle school is scary.
