University Preparatory Academy: UPA High School 600 Antoinette Street, Detroit, MI 48202

"UPA teachers and staff care about their students! I had the pleasure teaching there for several months before I moved and my experience was a great one. It was a safe environment with a rigorous curriculum. Wonderful teachers and administrators!"

"UPAHS offers students an opportunity to engage in a rigorous curriculum with small class sizes and a strong sense of community. The administration is also very involved in facilitating student success. UPA is definitely a safe and productive place to learn."

"This uniquely wonderful school afforded my son opportunities that he may not have had in a local public school. The college and career readiness department, with their one on one college counseling, made sure he was financially able to attend MSU. The staff is efficient, friendly and competent to make sure each student reaches their full potential."

"UPA High School is a great school that continues to strive for excellence. Over the last couple of years, UPA High has aggressively pushed a progressive education for its students that will prepare them for not only college but for being a productive, contributing citizen at the local, state and national level. Through programming, that promotes community, tolerance, and a rigorous education there is no better school for any student in Detroit to attend!"

"School is not organize staff members are rude and unfair when it comes to certain situation there is a lack of perfection teachers are disrespectful and loud behind closed doors with no respect for themselves or others. There are a few teacher with low teaching abilities that are ghetto and loud. The staff members tell lie base of weather they like students or not. The IEP have a lack of professionalism and are lazy. Honestly the only thing acceptable about this school right now is the power school app that allows students to keep track of there grades. Also the students that do get good grade have less chances than the students with lower grades. The school has a saying which is no students left behind this should be band cause most students are left behind,but I will say this some teacher do there job well and by some I mean about 3. I feel as though most don't really care about the student success but only about the money. The way the school is ran need to be correct immediately. Most students in this school have the mine set on working for other instead of creating there own business . This school is just another system base on perfecting kids to work for others. School starts at 8:00 ends a 3:20 just like a dayshift like most school and the sad part about it is most school are like this sad and pathetic. Hopefully in the future there going to be a better person In charge to run this school. There plenty replacements still needed school acts cheep knowing the get money off each student every count day. It just sad to say if this school don't make changes with in a 3 years the school is going to deteriorate do to the lack careless people in charge. The education system fail African American children by allow this school to run the way it do.#PrayforshittyassUPA IT'S NOTHING LIKE IT SEEMS"
