    I believe that Prep Charter is the same as Univeristy High School because both schools help thier students get into good high schools. They both have a lot of sports and clubs that keep the students occupied, so they can stay out of trouble. They are differnt however beacuse of thier enviorments. Prep's enviorment is more clean and safe. Univeristy's enviorment is filled with drug dealers and violence. Overall, they are both good schools, that have good academics and reps for being a smart school.

  3. I agree with Shawniece and Alex. Prep Charter and the University High school are very similar. They both have the same focus: to prepare their kids for college and a better future. Our school is a lot cleaner and newer than the University HS (and many other smarter schools in Philadelphia). The neighborhood we're in is not exactly the best, but it's better than where the University HS is located. Both schools are known for being college prep schools.

    In my opinion i think Prep Charter and University High School share some similar ways of how the school runs and what it is based on. Like University High School, Prep Charter also prepares you and help strenthen Your ability to succeed in a college environment.Another factor of how they are the same is because University high has a high percent average,of sending their graduates off to colleges and universites like Prep Charter. On the other hand Prep Charter and University High hav two completely different sceneries. For one thing Prep Charter is safe in a way. For instance their is not people selling drugs or any drug dealers in the school,neither around the school and there is sort of no violence.Then when u look over University High they have a on going list of bad things. One thing would be is that they have shooting,people "jumping" other people,and selling drugs, and fights. In conclusion they both have a srtong,rigorous, and very helpful academic standards and are known best for it.

  5. I agree with Alex because our school also has a good reputation for sending students to college. And I like how he said we both offer college prepatory classes. And our location for Prep isn't as bad as University High. Also the teachers are the same in Prep and University High because they actually care about the students.

    Prep Charter and University High School are similar in the way the two schools are formatted. Both schools are college based schools for intelligent students. They prepare you and help you succeed for when your sent off to college. Also, from what I read about University High, a high percentage of their students who graduate are sent off to universities just like Prep Charter's students. The only different thing about these two high schools is the environment they are located in. I feel somewhat safe when in the neighborhood of Prep, but if I were to go around University High I'd honestly be a little frightened because it talks about how if you weren't ready to fight, then be ready to get mugged. Thats really scary.

  7. I agree with Kahdeejah, but also everyone in this blog. Everyone understands that both Prep Charter and University High prepare students for the future and help build confidence in them. In the same way, we all understand that today, we attend Prep Charter in a safe environment while University High in drug and gang infested area. It's plain to see that both schools are good, but if i had to choose, Prep Charter would be MY main choice.

    I agree with alex Prep Charter and University High both prepare students for college or the next level of education. I also agree with him about the environment. Prep Charter is much safer than University High. however they are different because it says University High had only some teachers who really cared, while at Prep every teacher cares.

    Prep charter and university high have basic similarities such as they pick only the best students to graduate from here like the university does and also they both prep us for college. Although they have similarities they have a big difference. The area around university is malicious while around prep charter everyone knows that they are safe.

    I agree with Alex because the University chooses kids from the hostile areas so the children may be a bit corrupted but here even if we're bad we're safe.

  11. I believe Prep Charter is similar to University High in many ways. Both schools prepare their students for college. Therefore, both schools have a better chance of sending and helping their students succeed in the skills they need to go further on into college. Also, both schools have an amazing reputation for sending their students to college and having their students succeeding when they graduate. The only difference, in my opinion, is that Prep doesn't have such a hostile environment like University High school does. Prep is a more safe and family-like school. However, University High had some other not-so-friendly students. So for the most part they are alike, but their are some slight differences.

  12. I think that University High is kind of the same as Prep Charter but I think that the only difference is that in University High, there are more bad people and they live in a bad environment. I don't think University High is as strict as Prep Charter either. They're the same because Prep Charter and University High both prepare their students for college as well. University High is in a more dangerous neighbborhood than Prep Charter here in South Philly and there isn't that much gang violence and drug dealing or stuff like that around here.

  13. @Steph,
    I agree with you because they both do prepare us all in college for the most part and the only difference is that there isn't that much violence here. Imagine if we went to that school, i'd die. hahaaa <3

    I agree with you completely. I believe University High and Prep Charter are both great schools when it comes to education and getting students off to college. However, when it comes to the neighborhoods, I'd feel a lot safer in Prep's neighborhood than in University High's. I feel as if Prep makes us feel safer and there was no one there to help the students if something happened at University High because it was a common thing to fight outside of school, unlike at Prep. I'm just glad our school is different :)
