Art and Design High School

My son attended and graduated from this school with a 92.7 GPA. He is now getting a degree in business even though he worked in Architecture for the 4 years that he attend Art & Design. The teachers worked well with me and the vice principal and all of the dean's were very very helpful and they were very amiable to parents...well, to me! (smile) Does my son still utilize his creative side with his drawing? Of course he does.

ABSOLUTELY THE WORST SCHOOL I HAVE EVER ATTENDED As an 11th grader attending this school here are my pros and cons Pros -Art programs Cons -Many students who smoke pot -The Guidance counselors are a joke. -Filthy school -Graffiti is all over school propety -Out of date text books -Many not all, teachers don't care enough to push all students to keep trying. -Not enough home work. I was once a student who loved art, it was something I looked forward to doing at school when ever I had the chance but this school has sucked all the love I once had for it out. It is sad seeing how immature, rude and unprofessional some of the guidance counselors and teachers in this school can be.

I love Art and Design High School because of their dedication and hard work with our children. They are very encouraging and take the time with the students in showing them how to bring out their artistic gifts. The High School of Art and Design is dedicated and committed to equip all students with what is necessary to be out in the world. The teacher truly care about the children & they education. They are also very helpful to the parents when we need help or any information to help our children. I love how they have different programs for our children and this school provides a safe environment for our children. I could never forget how helpful and hard working are the staffs at this High School.

My Alma mater, A great NYC H.S.!!! A lot of success stories...

I got my education from A&D and I found it to be a great place for young, developing artists. It was a rewarding experience that I cannot forget.

Because I'm an alumni that owes a great deal of my screenwriting career to what I learned there!!!

As a freshman parent I am so happy to see that the teachers care so much about the kids. Art is infused into many subjects which I think helps to show children that art is more than just about drawing.
