GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I've honestly enjoyed my high school like at UP. The teachers are decently supportive and understand you as a person and student. There is a bunch of hands on activities and many after school and during school clubs to keep you engage which is a top thing for me. The classes prepare you for the next level and you get pushed for college readiness.

The best way to describe University Prep Charter HS is a community. During my time there, there wasn't any bullying and you felt welcomed. Everyday it was fun to come to school and learn.
