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.

Union Grove has many AP classes and I feel the counselors really helped me with my dual enrollment application. Anytime I struggled in a class, there was always a teacher to help me and it was overall a good experience.

Overall I feel that Union Grove High School has been a good school for me. There are a couple of aspects that could use improvement such as college readiness, staff involvement, and school culture, but for the most part Union Grove has been great. There are a number clubs for students to get involved with the school. Teachers are accessible and take the time to check in with students individually. I definitely feel that Union Grove has been a great school to attend.

Being a parent at UGHS, the school administration and some teachers don’t complete their duties at all. The director doesn’t know the facts at all about what is going on at the school and twists the information. When you show him the facts, he doesn’t even bother to respond back. Be ready the assist...

Many of these reviews are from disgruntled parents and students who didn't get what they wanted. Both of my sons graduated from UG (2012 & 2018) and it is an EXCELLENT school. Is it big? Yes...don't enroll at a school with 1600+ students if you expect a lot of hand-holding and personal attention fro...
