[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This comment seems to be more of a criticism than anything.  There is no info on where the OP even lives.  Is she moving to the area and primarily concerned about the arts?  Seems a little strange.[/quote]

Agree - and I wasn't aware that Miami was known for the quality of its schools.  [/quote]

I actually agree with the OP.  When I look at other areas, arts magnets, art based charter schools, etc . . . seem common and yet here we have very few.  None of the Charter schools in DC that claim an arts based focused (Doar, SAIL, Children's Studio School) have been even slightly successful.  The arts magnet at Hardy is over.  MD and VA don't even have high schools of the performing arts that I know of.  In the private school while there are certainly schools that do a good job with arts (Lowell, Norwood, in fact many schools) there aren't any that have arts as the cornerstone of their curriculum.

In fact, I'd say that the only truly arts based school (that is a school where arts are the heart of the curriculum, not one of many equal pieces or an add on) is Ellington which is limited to a small age group, and a certain geographic region.[/quote]
