Cicely L. Tyson Community School of Performing and Fine Arts

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

Now I don't 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

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

Yeay

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!
