We have a really good school. I would like to see more clubs and activities. While our school focuses a lot on sports, our teachers really focus on our grades.

The best parts of the school are the friendly and safe enviorment for the students. The worst part is the campus area. I would like to see more activities brought to the school.

Union Local has an amazing atmosphere. Everyone is very friendly and no one is left out. Even though the atmosphere is great the teaching is just average or below. Some teachers are very good and the test scores show it but others just are there to get paid. The sports are very involved with the community and are very proud of the players. The administration is very involved with the students but not always do what is best. The school is a very safe place to be physically and emotionally. Everyone must go through a metal detector to enter the school and everyone is very friendly after you enter.
