Talent Unlimited High School

Talent Unlimited High School is a performing arts high school on Manhattan's Upper East Side, known for its rigorous dual focus on the performing arts and liberal arts. Housed within the Julia Richman Educational Complex, it offers audition-based programs in Musical Theater, Vocal Music, Dance, Drama, and Instrumental Music, with students taking a blend of performance and academic classes. The school boasts an exceptionally high graduation rate and college enrollment rate, both well above citywide medians. Parents consistently report very positive experiences, praising the supportive community and dedicated staff. Students generally feel safe and supported, though some express mixed views on school cleanliness and conflict resolution. While the arts programs are highly regarded for their professional training and internship opportunities, some students suggest that academic offerings outside the arts could benefit from more variety and rigor, particularly in science. English and History Regents pass rates are strong, but some math and science Regents scores are lower. The school's location near Hunter College provides additional academic opportunities.
