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.

In all my years at University High School Charter, my best experience was meeting the most amazing, kindest, and hardworking people, whom I'm blessed to call my friends. The worst experience was having very strict, intimidating teachers whose presence made me very anxious, but I soon realized that they just wanted the best for me.
