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.

My time at UME Preparatory Academy was long. I started in 2nd grade and attended through graduation. The best part of this school is the community. Parent and teach involvement is high and everyone is there to support you. The worst part about this school is its inability to keep teachers. I feel behind in math because half of my high school math career was 'taught' online. I would like to see no more online resources used unless absolutely necessary.

I personally met really great people that have motivated me to be my best self. My high school, definitely was not perfect, I feel like more AP classes would have been better for all scholars.

UME is a very safe and welcoming school. I like the shorter class days and the academic driven values. Something I would like to see be changed at my school is the dress code. I'm fine with having a uniform, but they've recently changed it so that we can't wear skirts; only pants. I would also like our shirts to just be polos in our school colours; instead of having a UME logo on all our shirts. It would save a lot more money for the students and families. But thankfully the dress code isn't hindering our learning experience, so overall I am happy with my school.

For the most part my children enjoy the small school feel and environment. Most of the children are well behaved and you will not see any bullying or skipping, misbehaving that many public inner city schools have. The curriculum is rigorous and challenging which in the long run will help my children...

Our family loves UME. Our children are gaining a quality education. We have been at the Dallas campus for three years and we have been impressed with every teacher our children have had. They care about the quality of education their scholars receive. There are plenty of hands-on learning experience...

I do not recommend this school to anyone. They do not have extracurricular activities, no recess, short lunch break, no foreign language, no technology for the most part. Its worksheet after worksheet and teachers racing through a curriculum because this school chooses to have early dismissal everyd...
