This School’s Reviews
Niche Reviews

I was actually a transfer student. Once I arrived I was shocked to see how poorly managed and organized the school was . While the teachers and college counselors are truly great , the running of the school by admin is lack luster and needs improvement.

Urban Assembly Institute is very diverse , there is students of all background. Speaking for the high school , the teachers prepare us for the future in every way. The students who want to go to college are college ready and others who don't, have the life skills for what their next steps are gonna be.

As a current student I can say that this school as serious issues at the core and it stems from favoritism and lack of communication with most students. I have peers that have not even been on a college visit and I have many friends that have graduated that have dropped out college because they were not properly prepared for college by the school. This school continuously fails most of its students and it's not a good choice for anyone.
