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.

Great overall. As a heavily involved student, my experience is a little different than most. I am a part of multiple clubs and sports and can confidently say that this school cares about its kids. Not only in the classroom but outside too. There are multiple opportunities to get help mentally and physically if needed and there are plenty of safe adults to talk to about any circumstance. Overall would recommend the school to a friend.

As a current student I still have some things to experience, but what I have experienced was good so far. The faculty is nice and will work with you if anything needs to be changed. The school spirit is through the roof and stays that way year round. The clubs and activities are easy to get into and get involved in if they are of interest. Overall would go back if given the chance.

Union county high school is a very close knit and warm community. The entire community from the Superintendent all the way to the custodial staff are extremely invested in the students. They strive to help all students succeed and be successful students which in turn help them to become successful and productive in the many communities they reside.
