University Neighborhood High School

We are a small, inclusive school guided by 4 pillars: Honor, Excellence, Curiosity, and Celebration. 98% of our students go to college. Students engage in a college-bound academic program of Regents, AP, College Now courses, and study Chinese, Korean, or Japanese. We offer a robust after-school club culture supported by our student government. We encourage acts of kindness through RachelÂ’s Challenge, an anti-bullying program. Our Parent Coordinator keeps parents informed through biweekly postcards, a newsletter, and First Fridays. Grades and progress reports are available online. Seniors attend college prep classes; juniors can take onsite Kaplan SAT prep courses. Our NEST program provides significant individual support for students with autism.
