The Performing and Fine Arts Academy, serving grades 6-12, offers a unique balance of rigorous…read moreacademic instruction and intensive instruction in the performing and fine arts. Areas of artistic training range from drama, dance, music and the fine arts to stagecraft and computer animation. In addition to being named a National School of Distinction in the Performing and Fine Arts, The Performing and Fine Arts Academy has been regularly recognized in the local community through Elly (recognizing outstanding theatre in the Sacramento area) nominations and awards, participation in the Jammies (music recognition program for students), and many other events. All of our students are taught by arts teachers who continue to be professional practicing artists in the community, allowing students to learn not only the technical aspects of artistic expression, but also what it is like to be a professional practicing artist. Academically, our students excel. Our academic teachers are highly trained and our courses are rigorous. Even with the rigor of our courses, the Academy routinely has over 70% of its students on the honor roll. Many high school seniors go on to prestigious four year universities and art schools.

Their teachers are very communicative, informative and active through the school app. They respond quickly to any inquiries I may have as well. Ms. Keeler, the principal, is nice so far, as I've only met & interacted with her on a couple of occasions like the 1st PTA meeting of the year and when dropping/picking up the kids so I don't really have anything else to compare her to yet. What I love most about this school is the organization of the pick up/drop off zone in the school parking lot and how staff are very well aware of the students trying to walk off campus. I gave 4 stars because the office staff lacks common sense & courtesy unfortunately.

My daughter attends Maryhill Midtown, and I honestly can't say enough good things about this…read moreschool. From the moment we first stepped on campus which is now 5 years ago, it just felt different -- warm, welcoming, and full of energy. The teachers are incredible -- caring, attentive, and truly invested in each child's growth. The curriculum strikes such a great balance between strong academics and creative, hands-on learning. My daughter has grown so much in both confidence and curiosity since starting here and even visits her favorite teacher Ms. Castro. The sports programs are another huge highlight! There's such a great community spirit, and it's clear that the staff..shout out to Mr. Kennedy...values teamwork, leadership, and fun just as much as skill. What I love most is how inviting the environment is. You can feel the pride and positivity in everything from the classrooms to the playground. It's a place where kids are genuinely excited to go to school every day. I love every year they have been introducing new electives from sewing to DnD to even a T Swift club that is engaging for everyone. If you're looking for a school that blends strong academics, great extracurriculars, and a warm community -- Maryhill Midtown is a gem. We couldn't be happier.

This school, absolutely HORRIBLE! I wish I could give it 0 stars. I don't usually complain but this…read moreschool is unacceptable. The bathrooms are always locked and dirty, teachers are rude and don't care, once a student peed on his chair because the teacher didn't let him use the bathroom and the bathrooms were also all locked. Don't trust ur kids with the men there as well, I was touched inappropriately and nobody would believe me or listen. I was touched by not one but multiple. Ever since then I always wear baggy clothes that cover my body even though I already wore baggy clothes back then so nobody could blame it on what I was wearing. I'm telling you this school ruined my mental health badly and I never want to go back there ever again. And the social worker/social counselor doesn't care at all and she also twists my words and forces me to talk when I don't feel comfortable talking about something she wants to know, and she also promised not to tell anybody but then the whole office knew and both my parents, of course I didn't tell her remotely close to everything but some stuff were rlly private and it hurt when I found out practically everyone knew, I also told her about me being touched and she didn't really believe me and didn't do anything about it. I was also bullied and there was nothing done about it. I don't recommend this school at all please don't go here I'm begging you. PARENTS BE AWARE!!!

My teacher, miss Prescott, is very caring and neat. She helps me with all my school work and let's us drink some hot chocolate or tea in class. She's always very happy and in good spirit but she's extremely smart. The other teachers are always on task and are very rewarding and respectful. The activities I've been doing are keeping me happy and occupied while learning life skills like how to clean, garden, cook and get a job. I have schizophrenia and dissociation disorder so it's hard to talk and interact with my anxiety but the school have been making my confidence go through the roof. I suffered with depression and alot of bad things that kept me locked in my room but after school I'm always excited and happy. Everyday at this school is a good day but be warned because the students are very troubled so you might want to talk to the teachers about that. 1000% would go there
