School Reviews

5 7/25/2026

I attended (Class of 78) and my daughter attended (Class of 2012). Excellent school! More extra-curricular offerings than when I attended....My memories are different from hers...She was looking forward to the all the trips I talked about constantly, but sadly, other families couldn''t afford them, so .....economic realities entered the picture. Hope they''re still offering, though. Anyway, post-high-school education will be challenging, but not as hard as.....because Ursula''s a college-preparatory school, so college and beyond success is all but guaranteed. Racial/ethnic student body reflected the city landscape, which was fantastic, since that was/ is the workplace. Your girls will be ready to face the challenges/ realities of the/ their real world...And glad there''s now a middle school (grades 7 and 8). Blessings!
