I feel like University Prep is a great school for gaining motivation from and taking that next step into your college life. Uprep is a family, and it will help you with your college readiness.

UPA High School is a really good school and I would give them a 9/10. The staff will take time to get to know the students and they will give them everything they need to prepare for college. The sports and the extracurricular activities were the best because I was able to find people who had the same interests I had.

I've had a pretty amazing experience and University Prep High School. From Volleyball season, Debate season, Track season and even the mild drama that we have at UPREP keeps the family feel alive. I've had so many life lessons at that school, and it's honestly still weird to me to call it "that school" because technically I haven't graduated just yet. But come June, I will.

Once asked a student "Did this prepare you for college"? , she replied no. I then asked her she said they did not provide enough refunding money for college. The walking across campus didnt prepare her it was just a joke. This school is terrible. The students there have really poor hygiene.
