I have been a student at University School for 2 years and have felt like a vital part of the community since my first day. The student-teacher relationships are unmatched and the pillars of responsibility, loyalty, and consideration shape the culture of the school. There is no place that can replicate the academic rigor, athletic success, and a family-like support system.

US was the right place for my son. He was pushed and supported in reaching his goals in all the right ways. As a college student, he found he was so much more prepared for college academics than his peers. His coaches at US taught him so many lessons and remain important people in his life even after graduation. US was an extraordinary experience for him and one we are so thankful he was able to have.

Since my review on Niche was removed in spite of the fact it complied with guidelines and families were asked to bombard the site with 5 star reviews, to counter any effect my review had, I will make the attempt here. Truth is our experience is our experience, and we have the right to express it to...

First, I am an alum of the school who now had a child there. It pains me how much the school has declined academically due to poor leadership.What has changed is that the school now prizes athletic success and diversity over achievement. Whereas students in my day were prepared for college and then...
