[1] University Academy is a Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade college-preparatory charter public school in Kansas City, Missouri, United States.
University Academy serves approximately 1,100 students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade who reside in the Kansas City Missouri Schools District (“KCMSD”).
As a charter public school, University Academy admits students on the basis of a random lottery drawn from a pool of applicants.
As a result of the support and generosity of University Academy’s board of directors and the Kansas City community, construction on a new 172,000 square foot facility began in 2004.
University Academy graduates who have been out of high school 6 years or longer have a college completion rate that is more than 5 times the national average for students from lowest quartile income families.
