Cab Calloway School of the Arts
I have been a student at this school since 6th grade (I am a tenth grader now) and am so glad I was talented enough to get into this school. All the teachers are wonderful and full of knowledge. The Principle(Julie Rumschlag) and Assistant Principle (Joe Hocking) keep the violence almost completely out of the school (Maybe one or two large fights per year, at most). This school offers AP and Honors classes and the classes are nicely sized and have people who really want to learn in them. Cab Calloway is a wonderful and excellent school!
