My only critique is that the competitive nature of the school culture can be overwhelming for young students - but there are classmates, teachers, and academic or health counselors who are always ready to lend a helping hand.

I am a sophomore in high school and I went there for all of middle school and 9th grade. Worst experience of my life. I was in the theatre/drama department and I never got a single role in any of their shows, but I did get many professional roles outside of school, so it was odd. They only cast the same people in every show they didn’t open up to the other kids in the department. All the kids there were always in little cliques and we’re very exclusive to others. The rumour about OSA is that the students are respectful to all different kinds of people, the truth is that they are very cliquey and rude. The academics is very bad I can’t remember very much of what I learned those years that I was there at that school. I must say I did have great theatre teachers who taught me a lot about acting, but the kids were just awful. I do not recommend going there.

I go to this school. I am a theatre major in 7th grade. Honestly if you are very devoted to your art then this is the best place to learn and practice 2 hours a day doing the thing you love.

The parent involvement is alive and active. Lots of great opportunities for young people to showcase their talents while continuing to mentally grow into new challenges being presented. !

From my experience the osa community can be very unsupportive the kids can be very cruel and then when u try to take the problem to higher authorities nothing is solved and they try to compare things that u did thats similar to what the person is doing but besides the messed up community and bullies,although osa can have negatives and positives.A positive is the events they have like your emphasis shows. my emphasis is vocals and the shows are very fun vocals is my best part of osa and basically the only reason why Im still at osa when ever vocals has a show everybody comes together like a family and everyone gets a long vocals is very supportive and the teachers are absolutely amazing, but if u are thinking about coming to osa or u are, make sure u pick a good circle of friends or try to keep it small Im going to be a 8th grader this year so if ur coming to osa or your gonna be in vocals,Welcome!!see you soon

This school is really bad. all they talk about in class is sex. instead of working on math, its all just a bunch of sex talk. its disgusting and the teachers allow it to take place in class.
