  • Congratulations!   U.S. News & World Reports have released their annual high school rankings.  University School received the ‘Silver’ medal award , was ranked 12th in Tennessee and was the highest ranking school in Northeast Tennessee!   

    The methodology used for " How U.S. News Calculated the 2013 Best High Schools Rankings " was based on the key principles that a great high school must serve all of its students well, not just those who are college-bound, and that it must be able to produce measurable academic outcomes to show the school is successfully educating its student body across a range of performance indicators.

    University School’s profile consisted of Academic Indicators, Test Scores, Rankings/Awards, Teacher-Student ratio, as well as additional School data.

    University School also received a Silver Medal in the 2012 and  2009 rankings.

    Congratulations University School Students, Faculty, Staff, and Administration, on being the "BEST"!
