The Urban School is the most wonderful, constructive, supportive environment I've ever found. The community is open-minded and the students work hard, diving into academics as well as clubs, sports, and art. There are so many opportunities for growth. I love it here, I'm so grateful for my time at Urban!
Beautiful campus, beautiful students. Great student body if you can figure out how to navigate the social scene, which can be a bit cutthroat at times. Clear social hierarchy, but lots of really cool people. Truly wonderful and supportive teachers/staff for the most part. However, academics are extremely challenging for those with a learning difference and for kids who didn't attend a prestigious private middle school. What's more, the top-level academic administration can be borderline cruel. Their academic standards are ridiculously high and kids who aren't able to meet those standards receive more punishment than support.
Excellent academics, teaching staff is top notch. Administration is very much involved and care about preparing the students for the next step: college. I have spoken with alumni and they could not be more grateful with the preparation they received. One student in particular, a pre-law student now, was able to transfer some school credits towards her degree at a top notch University in SF. Very good school and with a new principal better things will come.
