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.

My experience with this school has been amazing. I've been attending for 6 years now and I feel they offer such a unique experience compared to other schools in the area. It is a college prep school and I feel very ready for college. I feel that if I had gone to my local public school it wouldn't have been the same experience. I've also made many great friends and had many great experiences at my school. I have been working with our arts department ever since I joined the school and it has been so influential to me as a person. I discovered my passions and friends through the arts and I hope to continue that after graduating. This school has greatly shaped me as a person and I am unbelievably greatful for that.

It's very focused on academics and not so much on other things. It's fun but not great. The teachers are nice and focused on what has to be done and so are the staff.

UPA has been a very academic and well school, I love that the teachers are very kind but they are also very serious of our education, they worry about us and sometimes even though we get mad they push us through all the work. The staff is very nice and welcoming. I have been at UPA since 7th grade and I am now a upcoming senior ready to face the reality of the world. I am very happy with the results that I have had throughout these 5 years and the experiences I have had with people in my school. I have made many friends and was able to maintain good grades, but it is now my time to figure out the hard stuff about college and I am just glad that UPA has taught me well.
you don't know what hell is like until you go to school warning for anyone considering the thought of joining this school don't you won't amount to anything if you come here almost all of the teachers and staff treat the students like slaves. This school doesn't accommodate students even if they hav...
Teachers don't behave in an appropriate way with kids. My daughter is in 11th grade. Her math teacher told her that to bring her grades up, she would have to meet him privately outside of school and do inappropriate things. I let the administrative department know about this incident, and they have...
My kid has been in this school for 2 years. My kid likes the school and has a lot of friends there. Teachers are nice and passionate about what they are doing. It provides a student with everything it needs to succeed if the resources are used wisely. The school is not for everyone though as it’s no...
LISTEN to the critical reviews. UPA is not a healthy environment for a growing, learning teenager with the academic stress they place on their students. Students come out well familiar with test taking but ill-equipped with any other measure needed to succeed in university.The school hardly even liv...
