What school district is Academy For Performing Arts part of?
I am absolutely disappointed in this school and their inability to truly care for their students. Someone very close to me, who, in my opinion should be considered the most valuable addition to any school, was betrayed and disrespected in the deepest way by the staff and the entire organization. She was severely injured on the premises, during class, with an injury that led her to believe that she would never walk again. I will not explain the entire situation, but the school ensured that she feel as though this was HER fault and simply refused to give her an apology. AN APOLOGY?! An injury that will forever affect both physically and mentally this absolute angel of a girl who supplies nothing, but joy to everyone around her. I am disgusted in the teachers who violated their role as advocates and the organization who made sure their student felt less than. If I could give zero stars, I would.
