Been going here since Freshman year. I love it. The best school Ive ever gone to.The staff are so understanding of mental health needs.PiM is the first school Ive ever truly felt welcomed at. They accept you as you are and help you as much as theyre able.This is also the only school that will let you bring a skateboard and skateboard in the halls. (But you need permission, and no other students around (like passing time)),Theres a very high population of students who are in the LGBT+ community.Several teachers identify within the LGBT+ and have talents themselves! I love how the students art(s) major(s) are incorporated into many homework assignments. (Ex. Writing a song about Prohibition in US History). Almost all the teachers there are hilarious, they are just such wonderful people.One thing is theres a difference between educating and teaching. They are educators-- teaching is sitting behind a desk all day taking notes. PiM is not that.Im glad I came to PiM.

I have now transferred 2 children out of this school. They have definitely failed the kids during this pandemic. I did not care for them before the pandemic but it definitely got worse during it. Both my child and myself reached out for help multiple times and received nothing. If your child is normally an A/B student and needs help they won’t get it. They seem to only dwell on the kids that are always failing. I would never recommend this school to anyone. I actually have spoken to dozens of people who went to or had a child attend the school when it was Mainstreet in Hopkins and they loved it. They say it definitely went down hill when they moved to Eden Prairie and changed names. If your child does well in mainstream school and is interested in the arts do NOT send them here. Keep them in mainstream school or find a different arts school. This school seems more like a baby sitter for kids who don’t do well or choose not to participate in school and don’t care. They really should have their funding pulled and be closed down. What a shame.

This is the only school that Ive liked which is coolyea

The area of arts in this school is amazing! There are so many different classes you can choose from whether they are arts related or academic. The environment here for arts is really supportive and academically the teachers are always willing to help.

Love this school, my stepdaughter goes here! Only complaint I have is that we went to her winter performance last night and we were charged 52 dollars to get in for 3 adults and 3 kids, one of which is a baby. I find this pretty rediculous for a public school to be charging his much. I understand for the adults but not for the kids.

Great place to teach or send your arts kids to school!

I graduated from this amazing school.
