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 high school gave my daughter an education she wouldn't have received from her previous school in Ohio. One thing I would like to see change is the communication between the schools and the parents. The school system does mostly email communication. I personally would rather a phone call or send a paper home.

I have been at Union Grove High since 2022 and is now a senior about to Graduate. Union grove has a lot of great opportunities and teachers. It is a very diverse school and there is not much that needs to be changed.

overall Union Grove Highschool is a very good school, seeing its the top school in henry county. The administration is decent but they don't always go above and beyond for the students. The academics are definitely pretty good as for the teachers they are decent. The worst part is, they don't deal with bullying appropriately and let the bully off with only a warning and proceed to do nothing about it. I would like to see more involvement with the students such as pep rallys and listening to the students and teachers complaints and ideas.

I am a graduating student at this school and it is terrible! The children are disrespectful, drama filled, disruptive, and disgusting! The curriculum is tiring and the teachers play favorites, very unprofessional and passive aggressive as well. If you can please homeschool your children

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...
