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.

Overall, I have had a very good experience at Union Hill. However, there are a few things that I would like to change. I would prefer if we had better lunches and more involvement and classes in science. As someone who plans to major in biology, I wish that we would have more opportunities class wise. The best experiences have been in the various activities I am involved in. I am involved in FFA, FBLA, One Act/Theatre, and Speech and Debate.

It's a great. I think it's academically great and to top it off it's a small so in my opinion you can learn more and easier because you get more attention than you would at a bigger school.
