Overall I have had a very positive experience. One of the strengths of the school is the teachers. The teachers are very personable and good at their jobs. I have always felt comfortable going to them with problems and questions. One slightly annoying aspect is that the school is very liberal and It sometimes feels like they push that on you. Over my four years I feel like the school has improved in my aspects like the yearbook and offered classes

Uprep is a great school in terms of small classes with high quality teachers and education. However, the actual grades are very small and you quickly learn the names of everyone there. Uprep has supported me so much through my academic journey, though I do wish there was more school spirit and better sports.

I like the sense of community at UPrep, and their dedication to students' academic success. They provide many opportunities like activities, extracurriculars, events, and travel that other schools don't have. Personally, I wish the curriculum, faculty, and student body were more knowledgeable, respectful, and accommodating of minority students (people of color, LGBTQ+ students, etc).

We have two daughters at UPrep; 6th grade and 9th grade. Excellent, focused curriculum with amazing social emotional support where a team of faculty follow a set group of students all through their class levels at the middle and then again at the high school level. This allows the long exposure to g...

UPrep has been such a great place for our family. Our sons began in 6th grade and while they are very different students, they each found great friends and lots of ways to engage and learn at UPrep. UPrep’s fantastic teachers have created a culture where kids feel free to experiment with new things....

I currently have a rising Junior boy who has been at UPrep since 6th grade and an incoming 6th grade girl for the Fall of 2021. I can't say enough good things about this school and my experience there. The level of academic rigor and excellence is matched only by the intentional kindness and compass...
