I used to attend HSPVA. It wasn't the school for me, but it was a fantastic school for the arts. I was in the visual section, and we spent half of our day with fantastic art teachers, great contacts, and we received a great art education. However, I agree with some of the other reviews that core academics could deal with a great amount of improvement. I had a number of teachers who just wanted to talk about their personal philosophy rather than the subject. There really needs to be some sort of physical education program implemented. The students are all very friendly, and it's a great atmosphere.
I am currently a 10th grader at hspva. The school has great people, excellent art areas, and a fantastic music department but the academic program is very poor. What this school maybe need in the future is a more organized staff. Also there should be a gym or physical education period to help keep all the students in shape but should count as a class.
There was a very high percentage of students who enrolled in summer school for failing Academics such as Algebra and IPC. Very low emphasis is placed on a child's overall Academics. Counselors and Office Personnel volunteer more time working on projects related to other activities and departments, rather than the overall child's best interest. Academic guidance for a child at this school is very poor and handled in an uncaring, and sometimes unprofessional manner. Many parents were expressing these same concerns throughout the year and this school needs to be investigated further by HISD Administration. Parents took students out for these reasons and I believe it hurts these children who are exceptionally gifted. Children also needs health and physical education. This school provided no summer school so children had to go elsewhere and pay $150.00 for each class. **No funding from HSPVA was transferred to the outside referring schools.
