University Park Middle School

The University Park Campus School Institute for Student Success trains tiny school developers, leaders, and teachers to implement the leadership strategies and instructional techniques that have led to universal college readiness at UPCS. Since opening in 1997, over 95% of graduates of UPCS- a tiny grade 7-12 public school in Worcester, Massachusetts- have attended college. Nearly all are 1st generation college attenders, and over 99% have passed Massachusetts' rigorous graduation exam.
