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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

One of the best experiences I have had was in 8th grade. We had "8th grade week" and went on field trips each day of the week. Another cool thing about this school is that we are able to dual enroll and roam the ETSU campus since our school is on it. Juniors and Senior are allowed to go to the Culp Center for lunch. Like any school though, you're going to have some bad teachers. Thankfully there are very few at University School. I would like there to be a change to better accommodate those who are physically disabled. The school building is three floors and no elevators. I don't know if it's possible to add some due to the building being old, but I hope it can happen.

I love everything about University School. It is such a nice environment to be around. Teachers are very helpful and open to anything students may need and the students are very school spirited and well involved.

I've had some ups and downs with the school but overall I've had a great experience. I wish there would be stuff at my school that other schools have but those problems just come with being a small school.
As a semi recent graduate, I loved the school. It pushed me to be more passionate about my own education and prepared me well for college. This school gives you the opportunity to be involved at a higher level of education. I could dual enroll and take AP classes that pushed me to pursue higher educ...

However, this school makes it hard for students if they are struggling because "they knew the school was challenging when...
