The Chicago Tribune reports that Urban Prep Academy for Young Men is announcing that all 107 seniors of the 2010 class were accepted into four year colleges across the nation.

Urban Prep is Chicago’s only public all-male, all Black high school, and opened its doors in 2006. Urban Prep’s school day is significantly longer compared to other Chicago public schools, and it requires over double the usual English credits for graduation. This year marks its first graduating class.

“I never had a doubt that we would achieve this goal,” said Tim King, Urban Prep’s CEO. “Every single person we hired knew from the day one that this is what we do: We get our kids into college.”

Hustletown readers: Despite such an encouraging story, Urban Prep has come under fire as taking a step backwards for education, for promoting a ‘segregated’ school body. Do you agree? Check out the Tribune’s article, and let us know your thoughts!
