Having tried both, we think FAA compares favorably to the private school options in this area, especially when it comes to "the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic". If you look at state STAR tests, you'll see FAA does quite well in the area compared to the local public schools, too. I've worked in education (at the university level) and the private sector for many years. I would say that the teachers at FAA are some of the most dedicated, hardworking individuals I've ever encountered. And the chief staff support person (Evie) is perhaps the best administrative assistant I've ever encountered, anywhere. All CA schools I've seen have behavioral issues (parents). FAA teachers do as well as any. My only complaint about the school is that the PTSA has (-some great folks and-) a couple hysterical individuals on it, who should probably be teaching drama.

HAving served on the PTSA, I can honestly say that the teachers at this school are incredibly lazy, disconnected and on auto-pilot. The entire lot should be replaced and start over. The concept of the school is good, but between the complacency of the staff, and the severe cuts in education funding, it's a poor excuse for an edicational facility. The basics of reading, writing and arithmatic are given short shrift. Do not send your child to this schol if he or she needs additional help in any way. LAstly, it seems that there are many students who end up here as a last resort. Lots of behavioral issues and kids that need additional supervision. However, the stupid school board has cut the Principal here to two days a week (even though it is essentially a middle school). In total, great concept school, dismal execution of concept!

Every child have different learning capabilities. My older son really love this school. As a parent, I have no regret to send my son in this school. Teachers, students are amazing, their academic programs are superb. Love it...
—Submitted by a parent
This was part of CA pilot programs to increase the Art experience of the students. We have had five of my grandchildren attend this school right from its start. Each of them benefited from the limited size & personal attention they recieved there.

I loved this school! I've been to a lot of schools and the fine arts academy has been by far my favorite! I completely recommend it to anyone!
—Submitted by a former student
Average academics, good hands-on art activities (in many forms), but small school which may not be a blessing for girls going through puberty (very few girlfriends to choose from...this can become a problem).
—Submitted by a parent
The students [are] there for their love of drawing, dance, choir, drama or art. I find the kids have such a happiness about them. They choose to go there, so it is their school and they make it fun. The teachers all have the arts in mind, and they enjoy teaching. They truly care about the kids. They try to adapt to differnt learning styles that a child might have.

In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.

In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.
