Urbana Elementary School

Moved from DC where my little one was in one of the better charter schools. All I can say is that UES is so much better than likely any school in the entire city. It proves that throwing money and classroom size out as an excuse for poor performance is just smoke and mirrors. In DC they pay $29,000 per pupil and class size was about 22. At UES they have about 26 per class and spend $13,000 per pupil. Yet their test scores are far higher then the best school in all of DC. The teachers and staff are great. They are really part of the community, not just transplants that are here for experience. My child has jumped in reading ability substantially in the first 2 months at UES. I am proud of UES and what they do for our kids. The teachers are great and will continue to have my families respect and support.

My son has gone to this school since Pre-k. It has been a wonderful experience. The teachers, guidance counselor, and principal are outstanding. Any issue I have had big or small was addressed immediately and professionally. I can't say enough good things about them.

great school! couldn't ask for better elementary education for my son. Teachers and staff are doing their best.

My school is Urbana Elementary School (UES). Our daughter started UES in Kindergarten, just finished first grade last June and is now in second grade. I have to commend the teachers of this school, I have never before experienced such professional and interpersonal teachers. Every teacher that my daughter has had has been exceptional in instruction, in classroom management, homework, and really teaching her to be proud of her school experience. She loves going to school everyday.
