University Preparatory High School is a good high school. Although it is the only high school I have attended I think it is good. The staff is nice and most teachers are helpful when it comes to students having trouble with the class. I find it difficult to register for college courses especially when the teachers are not well informed about how it works. Overall University Prep is a good school.

Best high school in town. Teachers are wonderful. They keep kids on track for those wanting to attend college. Teachers are helpful in every way.

I enjoyed my time here. It was a good school and a decent change from traditional high school. I didn't like the facilities all that much because they were portables on the college campus, but you work with what you have, I suppose. Some of the teachers were hit or miss, but there are many outstanding and amazing instructors at UPHS.

Go somewhere else if your student wants to work ahead. As for bullying, the teachers are helpful but little to nothin...

This school started as a great opportunity but then turned horrible. Instead of high school classes they force college classes on us claiming it is to advance our learning. We all know that's a lie. It's strictly budgetary. If you are a staff member's child you are in luck! You get further in this s...

UPHS is like a country filled with corrupt politicians. You are blindfolded to think everything is done for your wellbeing... However, when can staff members who are biased and power-seeking wish for your wellbeing? It is as crazy as it sounds. Staff is never permanent! You are only re-hired based o...
