Community Reviews
For the most part my children enjoy the small school feel and environment. Most of the children are well behaved and you will not see any bullying or skipping, misbehaving that many public inner city schools have. The curriculum is rigorous and challenging which in the long run will help my children
Posted by a parent on 6/3/2021UME Prep is an excellent school. Our kids are thriving academically, socially, and mentally. The teachers and administrators are fantastic.
Posted by a parent on 3/8/2020Our family loves UME. Our children are gaining a quality education. We have been at the Dallas campus for three years and we have been impressed with every teacher our children have had. They care about the quality of education their scholars receive. There are plenty of hands-on learning experience
Posted by a parent on 12/12/2019I do not recommend this school to anyone. They do not have extracurricular activities, no recess, short lunch break, no foreign language, no technology for the most part. Its worksheet after worksheet and teachers racing through a curriculum because this school chooses to have early dismissal everyd
Posted by a community member on 9/2/2019Wonderful! We have been at UME since it opened in 2012 and it truly does have a small school feel. The teachers are extremely helpful and do all they can to help your child succeed. The school is committed to work toward developing strong character qualities in your child, and the teacher/parent tea

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageExcelente atención con los padres de familia! ¡siempre responde a las dudas de los padres y están disponibles para atendernos a cada momento y a cada necesidad que surge! siempre ofrecen talleres para padres pensando en ayudar a la comunidad y el idioma jamás ha sido un motivo de frenarnos a los padres ya que personal bilingüe hay y son tan amables y atentos.¡La superintendente es la persona más humilde y cariñosa que conocido en tantas escuelas! participa en eventos, voluntariado, etc...Los maestros y demás personal son muy empáticos con los estudiantes además de ser firmes y estrictos también los maestros juegan, compiten y retan a los estudiantes con el propósito de reforzar algunos dominios, autorregulación y el concepto de sí mismo en los estudiantes; ¡el apoyo académico es espectacular! ¡En mi experiencia La Academia de Estrellas es una Excelente escuela!Parent Review3y ago - Nancy J Cochran Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageFor being a local public elementary, I'd say that this school is pretty good. The teachers at this school are very effective at their jobs, and are open to communication with parents and the community. The building itself is in good shape and very clean. Personally, I believe that the culture at the school is quite unique. The parents, teachers, and members of the community strive to make the school the happiest and most effective towards readying kids for the future. I would definitely recommend this school.Other Review6y ago - Thomas Tolbert Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis the worse school anyone could ever bring their children to. Teachers are not there to teach the kids unless they like you. They talk to your children any kind of way and treat them terrible. I wish I would've listen to my neighbor when I first moved to the area stating " please don't let your kids go to that school". Principal and asst. principal don't handle situation in a professional way at all. No matter how much you call or go up to school to inform them of issues your having they still never resolve them. They listen and make excuses for the reason why a teacher said this and that. My child has always been on honor roll but at this school her grades have dropped tremendously and attitudes has totally changed towards school itself. I made a mistake and please whoever reads this DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS GO TO THIS SCHOOL. The school as a whole is so unprofessional and will lie to protect there job!!!!!!Parent Review10y ago - Lighthouse Christian Academy
