Ranking average in academics, the administration has programs in place to improve outcomes on a continual basis. One program is the “2-Way Dual Language Program,” where students are encouraged to embrace being bi-lingual as a strong basis for being prepared in a global economy. “Saddle Up for Success” is another program where academic skills are reinforced, including introducing ethics for students to contribute to the world in a positive way.

After school programs inspire whole family participation in the learning process. In addition, soccer games on the field, annual talent shows, celebrations of Cinco de Mayo, and free movie nights for the families bring this close-knit community together. With a mission to enforce positive academic and social skills daily, the goal of Urban Park is to develop young students who will make a positive impact in the world. The motto, “Every scholar, every day, no excuses!” reverberates in the halls, classrooms, playgrounds, and on the soccer field. This is the spirit of Urban Park Elementary encouraging students, parents and teachers to be the best they can be.
