Diversity, creativity, and innovation go hand in hand. What are your core values? I suggest you change your name - definitely NOT a prep school. You do not deserve the title or accreditation.

My son has attended this school for over a year now and our experience has been positive so far. He is excelling academically and ĺikes going to school. The school has opened a technical and career center next door that is only going to offer more opportunities for the young men.

Its 2018, not 1918, you should know better and have more respect for this young mans hard work. I watched the rating of this school go into the toilet where it should be. If you cant respect everyone equally, you may as well shut your doors.

The behavior of this school towards a bright young man is atrocious. The principal has shown a gross act of discrimination by discrediting this students achievements and right to give a valedictorian speech. These behaviors can be damaging to ones self-esteem. Please take action by removing this principal immediately!

I would like to understand background of this valedictorian of 2018 not being allowed to speak.For all the good you maybe doing this one choice is erasing that. Please do a rebutal for the sake of all the other young people who may be assiisted in the future.Values being taught must surpass ones personalPride.

Fire the racist principal who refused to allow Jaissaan Lovett, black valedictorian, to give graduation speech!! Refuse to enroll your own students or support this institution in any way until they replace this principal and any other staff who demonstrates racist attitudes towards students. Absolutely disgusted at the treatment of this hard working young man!

I have been attending this school for 3 years now and i have come to realize that the majority of the kids are horrible and act like animals. i regret coming here and now i am stuck with my choice for my final years here. at first glance the school looks like a good school. but once you have attended the school for even just a short time you will see that it is not all that it is cracked up to be. my advice to you is DO NOT ATTEND HERE! it is not a good school the education is good but when you have 10 disruptive and problematic kids in a total class of 15 you can not learn anything. the kids are extremely disrespectful to students and teachers alike.

This principle denied a student from giving his valedictorian speech because he is black!! Racism at its finest! He deserves to be fired! He is a disgrace to America!

Until this school makes Joseph Munno resign from his position they tolerate and promote discrimination and revoke rightfully earned opportunities for students of color. They are not a school that gives equal opportunities and they try to quiet students of color.

I would put zero stars if I could! Fire that principal! I don’t care why you didn’t let the valedictorian speak at graduation, he EARNED it so it’s not your choice!

This school is discriminatory and doesn’t value scholastic achievement over racist values and semantics. I would never suggest sending your kid there their talents will be under valued. Joseph Munno is a sad excuse for a principle, he refused to let the first valedictorian give the graduation speech. What a horrible guy, he deserves to be immediately fired without his pension. This is a restriction of freedom of speech. I will be contacting the local ACLU in order to see whether or not the school can have a lawsuit for this racial misconduct. This is now a national issue, one day that young man is going to be a professional and successful and the memory that will stick out the most is what your institution did to hold him back. DISGUSTING.

NO STARS! (it wont post unless you click at least one star) After the principal refused to allow the first black valedictorian to give a valedictorian speech Joseph Munno should be fired and denied his pension. This is what an expensive prep school teaches its pupils? Disgusting. Avoid at all costs until they fire Munno

To all the people who are calling mr muno a racist id like to say something, hes not a racist at all mr muno is a great guy, when i was a sophmore i wanted to leave my previous school, and no other school would take me then i went to uprep and see if i can register, mr muno, out of the 5 principles who rejected me, accepted me so please stop calling him a racist, he isnt maybe you guys should listen to the full story before accusing him of being a racist.

If I could give this institution 0 stars I would...The principal Joseph Munno is a flat out racist that refused to keep with tradition. As we all know, class valedictorian’s always deliver their own speeches during their school graduation ceremony. Unfortunately, this schools first black valedictorian, Jaisaan Lovett was denied this honor due to his skin color by none other Joseph Munno himself. Despite all of the media attention, Munno has still yet to right his wrong by giving a formal apology to the Lovett family. Fortunately for Jaisaan, Rochesters Mayor Lovely Ann Warren corrected Munnos mistake.  Ms. Warren not only allowed Jaisaan to read his speech but had him do so at the towns city hall!  Congratulations Jaison; you are a bright young man, and will do awesome things at Clark Atlanta University!!!!

This school is being ran by a RACIST!!! Learn how to send students into the world as smart, open-minded individuals!!! DO BETTER!!!

Students are not even able to cross the street without endangering themselves and others. I wouldnt recommend sending your child here as the current students appear to be retarded.

Disgusted by the news that you denied your valedictorian his right to speak on a day that should have been his proudest moment. Shame on you for sending a message of bigotry and racism. And you expect people to send their kids to you?

How can you deny a young man his right to speak as a valedictorian? You guys are truly disgusting!!! And the fact that he was a black male makes it super racist; the first black valedictorian in how many years of being founded?

Its all true, all of it- Han Solo, the Force Awakens

As someone who taught at UPrep for two years, I would strongly discourage other educators from considering employment here. Once you accept the job offer, the administration seems to believe that they own you, can treat you any way they choose, and that there is nothing you can do about it.When I accepted the job offer I was told that teachers would be enrolled in the New York State retirement system after the 2014-2015 school year, and that the contributions that would have been made to my retirement account during the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 school years would be paid back into my retirement account. In the spring of 2015 the administration announced that the school would not be enrolling teachers in the New York State retirement system, and that no contributions would be made for the previous school years.Due to this failure to follow through with enrolling teachers into the NYS retirement system and pay back previous years of service, I, along with many other teachers, chose to not renew our contracts for the following school year, and to seek other employment.Recently I attempted to get a employment verification form signed that would confirm my employment for the 2014-2015 school year and prove that I was meeting the commitment I made to teach in a high needs school. Initially my requests to have the form signed were ignored. I then contacted a member of the Board of Trustees to get the form signed. The Board member told me that he spoke with the school, that I should schedule an appointment, and that my form would be signed. I scheduled a meeting, and during that meeting I was told that the form would not be signed, I was insulted repeatedly, and ultimately told to get out. I spoke with the Board member again after the meeting and was told that the Board member would call the school and then call me back. Since then, I not been contacted by the school or anyone from the Board of Trustees in any way.I know of many other staff members, students, and parents who were treated with similar disrespect (which contributed to over half of the staff from the 2014-2015 school year not returning to UPrep for the 2015-2016 school year), although I do not feel it is my place to tell their stories. However, I do feel that it is my place to share my experiences so that individuals considering employment at UPrep are aware of the type of environment they are walking in to. My advice to you: STAY AWAY.Lastly, the students and other teachers I had the opportunity to work with during my time at UPrep are all wonderful people, and I greatly enjoyed my time with them. It truly disgusts me that a small group of individuals can completely ruin all of the good things that students and teachers are doing inside those walls with the terrible treatment of their staff.

You wouldnt let the Valedictorian give his speech. Shameful!

We are all waiting for the review from the Board. Sure hope privacy doesnt prevent the truth from being revealed.

Sad how a young black man wasn’t allowed to speak after being the schools first black valedictorian speak at graduation!! Shame on you Joe Munno!!

Horrible people who refuse to treat ALL students equally. Joseph Munno the principal needs to speak for his actions NOW.

We have a new President and principal and i get all As and you get lots of help and we are doing way better and please stop the hateful comments GOD DONT LIKE UGLY

Racist prep school. DO NOT send your kids here. No good. Bigoted and dirty. Hallways smell like wet dogs.

Fire this racist trump loving principal we have no place for people like him in our school systems educating our children.

An educated (scholar wise) individual, has a childish temper tanturm and denies the right of a student to deliver their speech at graduation, on the single concept that the student who EARNED the title of Valedictorian was not one of his favorites?????

Before you judge the founder of the school get all the facts.Listen to the interview on WDKX .

I dont know if the principal is racist or not but to deny the valedictorian a speech when hes earned it is just not right!

Sad. Fire the principal and get a new one who cares about ALL students.

This is a ANTI-AMERICAN, ANTI FREE SPEECH school who HATES BLACKS

Please dont send your kids here.

When the principal doesnt allow the first black valedictorian to speak at the graduation, theres a clear problem.

Time to fire your racist principal

Apparently a bunch of racists.

I heard this is where the Klan learns gud????

GET RID OF THE PRINCIPAL!!!!

Change the name to University Racist Charter

Racism.

Shame on Principle Joseph Munno.

Terrible main. 🤦🏽‍♂️
