Independent school in Seattle's Wedgwood neighborhood · grades 6-12 · 701 students (Washington State Board of Education, 2024-25) · nonsectarian coed day school accredited by the Northwest Association of Independent Schools (NWAIS) (legal name: University Preparatory Academy)
Every Seattle independent school without Advanced Placement (AP) classes tells you its regular classes are harder. UPrep is the rare one that publishes evidence you can check. There are no designated AP or honors sections, because the school's position is that everything is taught at honors level. Yet its own college profile reports 336 AP exams taken since 2022 with 75% scoring 4 or higher, all prepared outside class. Its matriculation list names names and counts: 46 graduates to the University of Washington in Seattle across 2021-2025, 14 to the University of Colorado Boulder, 10 to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. That transparency is the differentiator in a market where peers guard their lists, and it cuts both ways. The same openness extends to the student paper's protected reporting on a former teacher's June 2026 criminal trial. The catch is that untracked rigor shifts the load onto the student. Advanced Placement prep happens on personal time, and there is no slower lane if the honors pace doesn't fit. At $48,690 for Upper School in 2025-26 plus real add-on costs, this is a school for self-regulating kids. Families wanting tiered placement or school-run test prep should keep looking.
