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.

Personally, I had a great time. I was surrounded by a great set of life long friends, was close with my teachers, was involved, and was willing to be outgoing, which made the school fun and easy allowing me to excel. But for someone who is more shy or nervous, I think the school might be scary or poor for you.

University High School is overall a decent school. We have lots of fun events and activites. The teachers are a lot of fun for the most part. The main promblem is the Administration and the actual CVSD school system's innability to use money and be reasonable with its students.
