The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

We love United Community Charter School and we think that was the best decision for our daughter education. She is happy there, we can see at home how much she have been learning, how the teachers dedicate their time with all the students and will definitely recommend United to anyone who ask.

UCS is very diverse. I love the small school community and everyone knows my child. It is very easy to communicate with the teachers and administrators. My child has had no complaints and is on track with her learning. I love how they don't teach to just pass standardized testing. The after school program is amazing as well.

The staff at this school is amazing. The weekly communication on what’s going on in the classroom and the school is consist and student and family centered.
