San Francisco opens two arts high schools

Schools and real estate tend to go hand-in-hand, at least for families with children. The Examiner today has coverage of two new arts high schools that are opening this fall.

“The Academy of Arts and Sciences is the offspring of The City’s popular School of the Arts — without a requirement that students audition to attend. Metropolitan Arts and Technology High School is a replica of another charter school, City Arts and Technology High School.”

“Both schools will open with only a full freshmen class of 100 students, with plans to add another grade level each subsequent year in order to slowly grow to full size of less than 400 students, serving grades 9-12. While other small high schools exist within The San Francisco Unified School District, a typical high school has 1,000 or more students.”
