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.

This school is amazing at preparing students for college, and the fact that you can take Fresno State classes makes it even better. You don't really get selection freedom until junior and senior year, but at this point you likely know what you are going to be going into and can pick a college class catered to this.

I am not speaking academically in this review. I'm speaking about our experience at UHS. My son started as a Freshman. He was having anxiety and depression problems. We tried a 504 plan. But it failed. They didn't have ANY sort of counselor beyond like the academic counselor. They told me they would...
