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.

My overall experience with Union County Teams Charter School has been great over the past years. Education has been serious, with so many tests we have been taking, but it was worth it because now we are in Senior year and taking a challenge. I made so many friends and connected with teachers to make my life easy and being able to get school information that I would need to know later on. Everyone has been so nice and that has made my education go at a soft pace where I felt comfortable.

A school environment plays a pivotal role in shaping students' experiences and fostering their growth. A safe and friendly atmosphere, coupled with dedicated teachers, is essential for nurturing students academically, socially, and emotionally.

From my experience was that the good thing is since class size are small you get to know you teachers better and they can better assist you. The worst part is that there are not hard courses. I would like to see a change that the classes are hard and option like calculus or physics.

As I go to this school the teachers are bettering themselves at the minute. One teacher almost did something he regretted and he didn't do it because of how we would feel. Props to him. I can't wait to enjoy the engagement for next year

Do NOT bring your children to this school! Experiences from teachers, students, it has become a husk of what it once was. It has fallen out of order and has become a terrible school. The level of safety has recently dropped, as less precautions are taken to protect the guidelines in New Jersey. Ther...
