The teachers and staff are really patient and they dont like to throw anyone under the bus and they actually care for their students even if they are good or bad and the school gives you a lot of good activities and recourse to help students prosper

I mean i go to school here so ill give em a 4

I go here nd some of the teachers are really aggy but it’s fine. I major in theatre and i saw a comment where it just focuses on your performing art but honestly it really doesn’t. The vocal, dance, harp, violin, band and theatre have shows every year and there’s more majors like animation and art but they don’t perform. the teachers like math and reading and other stuff are fine. this one science teacher for 6th grade used to hit kids and tease them about themselves . but she teaches somewhere else now. over all this school is nice. it’s really big too!

My daughter has attended this school grades 6-12. I dont know what I would have done without the faculty and staff! I am forever grateful for the experience and Im proud to say my daughter is (will be in less than 3 months) a graduate of this school. It has been an awesome experience.

I love this school but my child comes home and tell me how Mrs.Spain hits students. On Thursday Mrs.Spqin hit Shammar Osborne in his back with q frction tile and he started to cry. Mrs.Spqin said she doesnt care if Jaylen Fields thw boys name gets ran over by a bus. In my opinion this school is great but Mrs.Spain makes their life miserable.

Now I dont go to this school yet but I been to that school A couple of times, Yes They are amazing at what they do performing but Is it just ALL THEY DO?? Yes I know you are a performing arts school but you should focus on your education more!! I go to Whitney E Houston Academy Creative and Performing Arts but we mostly focus on are education cause guess what Performing may get you a dream of a lifetime but Education will and ALWAYS BE FIRST!!!! I Rather go to STEM Academy or Bloomfield Tech but if you want your child to kinda focus on Performing tune Cicely L. Tyson Is the school for you

Dont ruin your lives.

8 havent been here yet but I have went on field trips here, and applied for fine arts this year and if I get in it may be a brighter chance to create my future.

Just saw the students perform for Cecily at the Kennedy center, it was great and they all should be proud. Lets find the positive in all things.

My little sister is currently enrolled in this school. Almost everyday she has a problem with the teachers and some of the students. This school does nothing if your child is being bullied or picked on. In fact they join in making the situation far worse. The teachers come off as condescending and rude, and blames the child for everything instead of blaming their teaching methods. Today a student asked the teacher if she thought my sister was pretty. Instead of disengaging from the matter, the teacher simply looked at my sister, and looked at the student who was being rude and started laughing with the students. My sister was nearly in tears about the matter and is far from ugly, which is what the teacher basically said. The teachers name is Mrs. Cisca I believe, and she is employed as a Language Arts teacher at Cicely L. Tyson. We are going to make sure she is held accountable for this. This school is really becoming a skid row, and I am very proud to say that I did not attend. Send your children to Newark Tech, or University High School if you can. CICELY TYSON PERFORMING ARTS SCHOOL IS OVERRATED!

I love this school it has so many good people Im a student in this school and I love the school the singing teacher made a song about ctes

It to a good school for arts and a good way to experience it

Really no comment, teachers grade off their feelings, they kick you out the class.......Choose another school to raise you kids
