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.

This is a great high school. I am involved in band, marching band, jazz band, Future Business Leaders of America, and more. Union is very involved in its students' lives and dedicate their programs to help students thrive and achieve great things. There is a great support system found in its hallways.

It is somewhere where you can always find help and support. The community is great and everyone wants each other to succeed and helps you reach your goals and greatest potential.

Some people in our school are jerks, but schools always have a handful of those. Luckily, my academic level usually separates me from those I find irritating. I have a small group of very good friends, and I enjoy creating new friendships with the underclassmen. Most students are involved in outside activities, including sports, robotics, and the fine arts.
