Urban provides an excellent quality education with a great community. The teachers and faculty really care about the students, and the grade size of 100 makes the community really great without feeling too small. For example, there are twice-yearly class days which are all-day or overnight field trips for the entire grade.

Just Fantastic. Great teachers, great environment, couldn't be happier. The classes are difficult, but extremely rewarding. The school creates a fantastic environment to speak openly about world issues and prejudice. I would highly recommend joining clubs.
