GreatSchools Rating
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.

i attended Unaka high School nearly three years ago and only have great things to say about my experience. The educators are amazing and the curriculum is second to none. Each student was meet with nothing but pure encouragement as they attended school at Unaka.

I had a great experience with academics. All of my teachers did an excellent job. I was well prepared for my ACT and for college classes. I did have issues with the guidance councilor. She did not help me with any scholarship opportunities or anything else. She is not well trained in college applications and scholarships.

Unaka high school now has many extracurricular activities to get involved in and there is surprisingly good amount of school spirit involved in everything we do. Unfortunately there is not enough funding for all the clubs to reach their full potential, but other than that it is a great school.
