University Academy Charter School is a K-12 school that prepares its students to be college ready i started in Kindergarten and i'm now a senior this school pushes for the best in all of us also this school is a predominately black school

I have been at University Academy since I was a freshman, I'm a senior now. I personally think this is a great school, it is difficult but it challenges me to try my best. University Academy was the first charter school in the Nation to win the Blue Ribbon award. This award was to honor the significant amount of student achievement. It is a small school but it is slowly being recognized as one of the best schools in Kansas City, Missouri. I am honestly proud and honored to be a part of this school. I am and forever will be, a gryphon.

Teacher turnover at the lower school is ridiculously high. Middle school teachers are cold,uncaring...
