Im going into junior year and thinking of auditioning for the Professional Performing Arts School. It's a public high school in NYC , much like Lagurdia. If anyone attends or knows anyone who does what do they think?

Hi,

Just to let you know, if you are interested in attending mid-year or as a senior, it is almost impossible to transfer from another high school. I went there from 7th-9th and to be honest, I didn't think too much. The teachers aren't that good, and the some of the kids that they accept are only there because there parents in shows. Also, a lot of the kids are very nasty, and hard to be around. The day is very long, not that that is a problem if the classes are good, but IMO, they are not. You really don't learn much. Hope this helps. If you have any more questions please let me know.

I looked into Talent unlimited,frank sinatra,theater arts production company school and the bronx theater high school. Also does anyone know anything about or attend walnut hill?

I go to La Guardia High School, and I believe that any performing high school is worth your while. Schools like PCS and PPAS let you work more than they do in La Guardia. At my school they believe that you should train first and then work.
The days are long though, and you have to keep up with your academics. But they are great schools.

I shouldn't say BUT they are great schools. I just mean that at my school the focus isn't entirely on Drama or whatever your major is. Your academics are equally as important.
