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.

I will be honest i have never gone to union actually i go to mohawk but overall i did my research and it seems like a cool school the only thing not to like about the school is the sports programs but of course the programs are not going to be good in a school with around 300 people but it looks like the academics are great mostly due to the fact it is a small school so i would guess less kids in a classroom so more interaction between a teacher and their kids union i have been in that area tons of times i love how quiet it is it at least seems to me that it is safer than most of new castle so overall while it may not be as big as new castle mohawk shenango blackhawk or beaver falls it still is a great school in a great suburb of new castle and they love their scotties!

It is nice to be at such a small school. It allows for teachers to know more about you and be able to teach based on your needs.

Going to a small school such as Union helps all the students to have a good relationship with the teachers. The teachers know all the students names. Also if you ever need help you can stop into one of their classrooms or email them online.

I wish I could give this school 0 stars. Union Jr/Sr High is a horrible school. My daughter has been going there since kindergarten, she's in 8th grade now and I've had enough. So last week I put her in NeCa High. The teachers do not care, the principal is a joke, and the bullying is seriously out o...

This school isn't ran like it should be and bullying is a major problem. The current principal's way of discipline is completely ridiculous. The bullying problem in this school has gotten so bad that I have decided to take up cyber school (which is an option I thought I would never take) because I h...
