I learned so much and found my passion for music at this school. I had access to plenty of opportunities, sports, trips and events. Even though my freshman year was during covid, I still was able to experience my high school years well. The only thing I wish we had was a safer neighborhood and more school trips.

Throughout his senior year, my son has benefited significantly from the dedication of his teacher and counselor, who have offered extensive academic guidance. His involvement in the boys club and peer groups with freshmen has been instrumental in developing his confidence and leadership skills.

When I joined University Prep High School I was a transfer student and I met a lot of new people but once I settled in I realize what type of school it really was.Teachers and administers had favorite students who were allowed to do anything they wanted.It made my friends and I feel out of place in the school and it made us feel even worse being the only African and Muslim group but the teaching is up to par and the schools have many clubs to join.
