I started at Upper Cape Regional Technical High School as a sophomore and it was one of my best decisions ever. My focus has been Vet Tech and I've learned so much about animals and believe it will help me a lot.

Our son, Grady had a great experience at UCT. It was nice to see him come out of his shell and we always considered UCT as a warm-up to college. The staff and instructors spend a lot of time getting the kids ready for their next step in academics. The only real bad thing we could say about UCT is the Location it's right off a busy highway on Cape Cod but there's really nothing they can do about that. There is really nothing that we see that they need to change. They have a great program going there now we've been very pleased.

I currently attend this school and honestly have no idea why it's received a 5 out of 10. That's seriously disappointing I'd give it about a 9. The only thing making it not a 10 is the lack of good math teachers. Everything other than that is spot on how it should be. I don't understand the 5.
