GreatSchools Rating
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.

Urban Academy has provided students with great mentorship in preparing students for a higher education. The educators provide constant support to their students.

As an upcoming senior at urban I would say that it's a school that really has changed my life and opened me up as a person. We have great art and photography classes as well as unique academic classes that we get to choose on our own. They don't automatically throw us straight into our schedules at the beginning of the year and let new and current really get comfortable with each other. There are opportunities to get internships and I'm currently enrolled to take college classes. If you prefer a small environment Urban is a perfect school for you.
