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.

I am a senior at Urban Prep - Englewood. Over my past 3 years here, I wouldn't really say I enjoyed my time here. Academics are not that good and the school lacks diversity and school spirit. One thing I can say is there are very strong bonds in between the students and in my opinion that's what makes Urban Prep - Englewood a unique school.

What I liked About my school was they made me feel like I was home. The basketball team was great and I got a chance to feel what high school was all about. It is a all boy school so it did cancel out distractions and what have not.

Urban Prep is an amazing school that teach African-American males that motivates them to became young men. From my years being at that school I see changes in myself in peers becoming young adults. Urban Prep has a lot of sports and extracurricular activities, even during the virus. This school is an life changer. The only thing I would change is the timing . It is a lot of school work, but I can get used to it.
