They focus on accepting girls from specific backgrounds that fit their image, giving less chance for others who don't to receive the same opportunities. If you are looking for a school with diversity, XCP is not the school to attend. If you are a minority & are part of the small number that gets accepted, there is no one there who looks like or can relate to you culturally.

I attended this school for about 4 years, choosing to go here to escape harassment at my local…read morepublic schools. Some instructors here are very good at what they do, and support their students to the best of their abilities. The student body is made up of artists, and most primarily are neurodivergent and/or are somewhere in the LGBTQ+ umbrella. The school is a bit smaller as well. As good as these things are for me, the many negative aspects are what drives my review down. The fact that this school has "Academics" in their name is somewhat laughable. Yes, in some aspects they attempt to create a good physical curriculum, but many other subjects they throw students onto an online curriculum and let some minimally qualified instructor watch them. Many struggled greatly in some subjects, me included, and some subjects had extremely limited support. As a college student, I feel like I was prepped poorly for college. The knowledge gaps, the lack of a real source to ask questions before graduating and heading to college were the biggest issues that I discovered. On that topic, worth noting this school does offer dual enrollment classes, which is good. Rules at this school are enforced on random. It seems to depend fully on the student, instructor, day, and how much the dean likes the person. There is also retaliation that occurs sometimes, and the dean will pry herself into situations that don't need her, and only listen to what she thinks is correct without hearing anyone else. The dean of this school is the central issue however. Because of her position, she acts as if she's better than everyone, and she's untouchable. She's got great skill at manipulating situations, so some people will see a completely different person opposed to others, which is why reviews are mixed. The cleanness of the campus is rather gross, and a reason for that are the "therapy", or occasionally defined as "emotional support" dogs brought in, that aren't ever in a designated spot, but instead brought into classrooms. One or two of these dogs are the dean's personal dog. One of the dogs, not the dean's, barks, and also is a type of dog that can cause allergies in some. Remember my statement about the school not being clean? Some students were very uncomfortable with these dogs being everywhere, but they couldn't say anything because the dean brings her dog, and some other students like the dogs, and don't want them to go away. I honestly would have gone elsewhere if I had known that this would be my experience.

As so many other reviewers have pointed out, this school has so much potential it could likely…read moreachieve if it weren't for a Dean who runs the school in a purely chaotic manner and thrives on "listening to the kids" so long as the end result is a CPS report or other way to divide kids from their parents. Equally as terrifying is Camille Rankin, school counselor, whose credentials include being an exotic animal trainer. In all of the time she's been at the school, she's failed to put in the hours required to counsel kids. I have met with her one time and she spent our meeting explaining to me that the Dean doesn't know how to effectively communicate or get thoughts across and we should listen to her as the voice of authority. In reality, Ms. Dowell is actually running the school and she does it with a level of grace and professionalism you won't see elsewhere at NSAA except in interactions with Miss C, who is a dance instructor and administrator. She is also humble, knows when to be soft and when tough love is in order. Everything that has been said in other reviews about Ms. Parker is also true. She is a blight on NSAA, a grumpy, angry and outright mean human who has caused so, so many kids to walk away from their love of art. She interacts with the kids from the moment they're dropped off to the moment they go home, enforcing ridiculous "rules" like they can't use the bathroom or "are walking the wrong way." Be careful about sending your children here. It's not just the lack of physical security that's an issue (no lockdown drills, no emergency protocol) but there is a deep, deep threat to the kids' psyches between the Dean and Camille, the exotic animal trainer who hasn't put in enough hours to actually be certified to do the job she is doing. The fact that Camille will counsel children and, as part of that counsel, tell kids and their parents that the Dean is incapable (which IS true) is super confusing to young minds. I think a really recent story that illustrates what's important to the top brass at NSAA is this one: this summer, during some of the hottest months, the a/c in the middle school went out for an extended period of time. Parents were not alerted unless their child mentioned it. But watching the Dean get into her Land Rover and drive home in the lap of luxury each day while these innocent kids were sweltering really struck a cord with me. It's a good lens to look through when thinking about this school.

I'm not going to lie...I miss high school…read more Moon Valley was a place I spent the majority of my childhood. As the son of a teacher, my adventure with Mooon Valley started in 1980 and continued until my departure in 1993. When you go back through your memories, you have a tendency to glorify several of the things that happened in your life, but high school...wee, it is something that just happens! Coming in as a freshman, the whole expienece is a bit overwhelming. You see the world from the bottom and know that you will have to wait your turn to be at the top of the ladder. Moon Valley was a prideful school, with a history of success and a case full of trophies. A school that excelled in athletics and academics. Over the years, the school has spiraled downward and just driving by makes me just shake my head. Class of 1993... To all my classmates and the year of the first state track and field championships, I am honored to have spent some of the most memorable times of our lives.

On April 2nd 2026, and the 9th 2026 my daughter was assaulted by another girl at this school. Each…read moreattack was by a separate individual. The second attack was so severe that my daughter was transported to the hospital via ambulance. She had her head smashed against the concrete that resulted in a concussion by this girl, and multiple bruises to her face and shoulders. The school, after the first attack did nothing to prevent the second attack. When I asked them what precautions will be taken if my daughter returned to their school after this second attack, I was told she could use the nurses bathroom since the first attack took place in the women's bathroom, and that she could eat lunch in the office or somewhere that they designated since the second attack took place while she was at lunch in the courtyard. The girl who more severely assaulted my daughter on the second attack was withdrawn from the school. I found out that apparently this girl had been expelled from another school for fighting and that she'd already been in several fights that year at Moon valley and was on a contract for fighting so they knew she was volatile and dangerous and still did nothing to take any type of precautions with other people's students. They just allowed her to roam free..... The hospital visit alone cost me $1,400, I haven't seen the bill yet for the ambulance ride, nor have I seen the bill yet for the specialist who is supposed to be her follow-up for the concussion. Drugs and alcohol are also rampant in this school, they are bought and sold by students. When I had photo evidence of these individuals selling and buying drugs, and using alcohol on campus I brought it to the attention of the assistant principal and the campus officer and they did nothing with that. Also told the campus officer when my daughter was assaulted the second time that I wanted to file charges and I'm pretty sure I was given a bogus report number because when I went back to look up the status of my daughter's case the report number he gave me kept coming back could not be found. There's going to be a lawsuit on their hands if this isn't taken seriously and handled it a befitting manager and taken seriously with implementating some sort of safeguard so my daughter can finish out the rest of her year and then transfer her out..... Worst school any of my four children have attended and I would not recommend it to anybody if they value their children's safety. And when I tell you it's worse than Glendale School District I mean it. I regret moving so that she had to attend this district/school.
