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 believe the best part of being a student at University Schools is the readiness and preparedness it gets us for college. As I want to pursue a health and medical pathway, this allows me to be introduced to an inside field of being able to do an internship in a pharmacy.

The best part of my experience with University has been being a part of a k-12 atmosphere that cares about students and wants to keep them around. I was also extremely lucky to be noticed young with gifted academic ability and the school really allowed me to thrive. The worst part of my experience has been the lack of emphasis on academic success and just overall ethics within students. I have seen many things around campus that I would have much preferred to avoid. I would like to see a change with emphasis more into the sciences as I believe that our school has many but still not enough classes that would allow me to branch out into non biology physical sciences.

The things that are good, are good. The things that are bad, are bad. It's just kind of average I guess.

At the elementary level, this school is more concerned about giving students fun and engaging "learning" activities rather than actual academic progress. My child's teachers did not seem overly concerned that she was consistently reading below grade level from first grade to fifth grade. She never r...

This school does not value a safe environment for their students. During COVID, they continue to host House Events which mix the entire school, K-12, together. They will not encourage masks for the students who chose masking as their COVID prevention option. Two months into school, they are still no...
