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.

They were okay, but they did not have a huge selection, and most clubs were generic.

My older children went to private schools, but I decided to give our local public schools a chance when the private school my youngest was attending was not the environment I wanted for him. I had heard that Union School District was excellent, and my only regret is that I wish I had been open-minded when my older two children were younger. The teachers have been exceptional and the environment warm and caring.

Going into 8th here. Great school. I’ve met a lot of friends here and mostly everyone is kind. Most of the teachers are friendly and supportive, often making the content in their classroom fun and entertaining to consume. They also offer time after school (sometimes before, depending on the teacher)...
