Good academic program. The uniforms are extremely overpriced. If your child is in aftercare, you will be charged $10 for each minute you are late. There is no grace period and the $10 applies for each child. Two children - one minute late is $20 - etc. I've seen a significant shift in administration since the founder is gone. The focus and care for all students regardless of race, national origin, ethnicity is very different from when my grandchildren started at Satori. The traffic in and out of the school when delivering and picking up children is the best that it will be. If you do not arrive one hour early - be patient! Some parents have no respect for the rules or directives and act on perceived privilege instead of policy. read more

Horrible. They make the teachers buy STUDENT uniforms to wear before school starts, but they don't pay teachers for August or September. They yell at kids, teachers, and parents. They yank kids by the arm. They make the whole school fo everything at once like bathroom breaks and PE! Several classes are in the gym at the same time doing PE. Teacher bullying is out of control. There are no resources and it seems like a scam. Horrible. read more

It is Our 6 year olds first year at this school in Irving, Tx of course there could be some improvement when it comes to the interior of the building. And the pick up lines. But the teachers I've met have mostly been great! The principal wants every student to thrive. Mrs. M is the best teacher EVER. read more

My my son is in the 6th grade and he still is that a first grade math level they don't allow extra credit activities they do do PE but why is my son surfing suffering at math and science at a private school I know there's a lot of positive reviews but we've already known that money corporations and businesses will have administrators and management put positive reviews out that are awesome misleading I am a parent and my son goes to the one and Tarrant County and he doesn't even know how to count change much less tell time and nothing about science read more

This school has met and exceeded my expectations. Nothing is perfect, however any time you strive for perfection and are willing to involve all stakeholders in the development of a strong educational environment, I salute you. Universal Academy, develops, trains and motivates students to become leaders. If you seek a program that is designed for each individual student to achieve academic success in a safe and naturing setting, I highly recommend Universal Academy. If you want an organization where no rules or regulations exist or where student's are allowed to just show up and do nothing, or disrupt the learning of other students then please don't enroll them at Universal Academy. And yes, YOU have to purchase school supplies and ALL students are required to wear UNIFORMS. Remember, Universal Academy is a school of choice. read more

Go somewhere else!! Take the time to visit the school and ask questions. Look at the poor organization and lack of supplies for the kids. Ordering uniforms is not easy. Kids must sit quietly during lunch while teachers stand guard over elementary aged kids. There is no field to play on. They do not provide tablets. They do not have lockers, kids must carry all of their books, note books, gym cloth, and lunch. One of my kids teacher writes directions on the board and has them read and learn on their own. Asked to meet with Schools Director/Principal and I received a bunch of questions regarding reason wanting to see her. She did not have time for us, not even a minute to greet and meet. Left message and she did not return call. Front desk lady, Brenda is very uncaring and confrontational. I returned next day and insisted for a meet with Director and she ordered 2 security and and a 3rd tall male to surround me to inform me that she did not have time for me and our families issue and that we had to be escorted out! Right now our son is failing 2 classes and we have yet to meet and resolve main issue with teacher. This place needs to be shut down. read more

My son has been going to this school for ( universal Satori the pre-k program )two years. We have had a horrible experience and are stuck because of annual fee model so cannot even get out. The management is extremely unprofessional, lies all the time, deceives parents and not trust worthy. Last year they changed teachers 2 months into the school year and managed with a substitute teacher for six months. They promised surface computer etc and it wad just lies. This year they crossed even their level of lies and cheating. They did not tell parents about school location change when they knew it all along. They changed teachers already two times without informing us and we come to know about it from kids. They are trying to manage with substitute for the remainder of the year. This would still be okay except for the lying on your face, rude behavior of the owner Blackmon (universal academy owner too )and the poor staff. The facilities are poor. The only thing they do right is set high academic standard force parents to teach the kids art Home and show that their contribution. The patents are mostly Indians and are very meek and take the shit. The school does not allow parent teacher Association. If possible keep away. read more

I am in this school and your thinking of going to this school DO NOT COME TO THIS SCHOOL!!!! its not a good learning environment, there are holes in the wall, hand prints and lines in every classroom, and they don't want to fix it, the director is to confident and thinks she's better than everyone, the teachers are always on their phones even though they don't allow phones to students, they only take one day to teach then the rest of the days they just give you a bunch of work and homework, the art teacher is deluded and hates kids even though she's our teacher, the only teacher's real specialty is lunch detentions, and the gym is a small auditorium made of Sheetrock(cheap walling)which breaks easily, so NEVER COME TO THIS SCHOOL!!!!!! read more

This school is terrible the administration is rude and once said to a student if they were the disrespecting the teacher because of her race. Their buildings are practically falling apart there is cracks everywhere they have not changed the computers for over 5 years same with there tablets the school is very poor. read more

Very unprofessional and shady. Bad place for both the students and teachers. Management is horrible, teachers are treated poorly. Kids do not get the schooling they deserve and is because of their adminstration. Classrooms are crammed and at timew you could have as many as 50 kids in a specials class (not p.e.). Their isn't a gym either. Kids do p.e. in their multipurpose room or outside. Pep rallies are held in their parking lot and are a mess. Unless adminstration changes, this school will just get worse. read more

This is a wonderful school. My child has been going here for 3 years. I couldn't be more happier. The front office is very professional, and friendly. The teachers are very helpful, and they seem to really care. They always keep me informed on what my child is doing, learning, and needing more help in. I'm very pleased. read more

My daughter went to pre-kindergarten at Universal Academy and it was the biggest educational mistake I could have made for her. Not only was the director unprofessional they would not even let you go into the school or the classroom. If you disagreed with them they wouldn't have a parent teacher conference. I was given one and when I requested another during the year the replied "you already had one". The teacher was unprofessional and appeared uneducated when telling me my child "axed a question". We ended up taking her out of school there that year. This caused her to have a very negative outlook on school when transferring to a better school. Ahe hated school because of her teacher and the administration. She is now in 1st grade at another school and loves it and is doing much better. Basically I wouldn't send my dog to this school. read more
