Not exactly. Housed at Hardy middle school, Fillmore provides arts instruction to students from Key, River Terrace, Ross, Stoddert and West.

It requires bussing the kids to Hardy, and the schools that use it devote part of their school's budget to pay for it. http://fillmoreartscenter.org/about-2/

Fewer schools use it now than in the past. Marie Reed used to be a Fillmore school, but now that its renovation is complete they do arts instruction in-house.

River Terrace and West are nowhere near Fillmore!  There has to be a better way.  The intra-day commute makes no sense.[/quote]

Ross parent.  The commute is about 20 on a slow bus trip. It is not really a big deal.  Especially when the alternative is no arts space, not even a space sink to wash paint brushes in the school building. Some of the programming is very average, some is great. But way better than what could be delivered in our school building. [/quote]
