Urban Academy Charter School
I have had three of my children go through the school. My youngest is still attending and has several years before she graduates from Urban. If you want a great school that really cares about your child(ren), it is Urban Academy. Students are held accountable for their actions and learning. The teachers and administrators are the best! They truly understand the love, care, and respect that is needed to help students succeed in life. The school has history and that says a lot about who they are in my community. Way to go!
