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.

My experience at Washington Union was good. The teachers were nice and accommodating to their students. If students needed help they would help and other students would also help if needed. The school atmosphere was also very welcoming.

Washington Union, overall, is a great environment with lots of help from counselors and staff. I enjoy the opportunities given however I feel like they could offer more opportunities to every pathway. As well as keep up with students on scholarship and job opportunities a little more.
