Although it is a small school with not as many amenities as other private schools may have, the experiences you receive here are priceless.

Upper Room did not do my class justice. None of us were ready for college. The only thing we got out of it was learning about God. The school leaves the students unatteded 50% of the time. The school is in a basement. We didnt have any good teachers to teach us what we needed to learn. I spent a year without writing a single paper. Most of the school is family based. They do not have many of the resources needed to teach a class. If in need of an emergency students can't even call or text there parents since theres no service in the basement and they only can use the school phone if deemed necessary. Your better off sending your child to Friday night services than letting your child go to school here.

It is a...

You have the husband - Gregory Eck (Head Master) , then his wife, then his daughter and her husband. How can there b...
