Urban Community School (UCS) strives to break social and economic barriers to success for Cleveland's near west side children by providing an individualized, innovative, and challenging education. Rooted in the Ursuline Sisters' tradition of faith, character, and educational excellence, UCS engages our faculty, families, and community partners in the successful whole child development of our students.UCS currently serves 700 students from birth through eighth grade. Our campus has grown with the addition of various partners. We are able to provide our students and families with wraparound services, serving the whole child. The UCS student body is representative of the neighborhoods we serve: 31% Hispanic, 26% White, 25% Multiracial, and 18% Black or African American. The majority of children attending UCS are economically disadvantaged and approximately 75% qualify for the National School Lunch Program.
