The school is an all-round great school. It pushes students to work hard, to challenges, and to fail in order to push forward in their education. It teaches students manners, and how to be a well-behaved/ respected citizen. School is academically challenging, but gives the student and teacher a good connection to be able to work through many different hardships in order for the student to succeed.

I love University High School, I only wish they would be able to be in the new buildings that are being built and not using the old ones. I would say except for that the academics are amazing and truly allow someone who has high goals to be able to reach them. The school has taught me so much and also has saved me so much money due to the AP Classes and Dual Enrollment teachers. I would highly recommend if you are someone who wants to accomplish your dream and also save money.

A great sense of community, difficult courses that get easier with effort; the more you commit, the more you'll get out of it. The teachers care and want to see you succeed.

This school is overall very good! I like the rigorous challenges the teachers give in the classroom. It might be hard, but it's doable and worth it. This is my first year, but I can overall say that this school is very great, and have no plan in any time soon leaving. They have great AP programs, th...

10/10 I love this school. The teachers care about the students and all of the homework we (the students) receive is incredible. It's all worth it. We will actually stay in college later on...

As a student, this school has helped change the way I think, and I look at challenges with acceptance and excitement. If one is willing to put in the work, they will yield fair results and gain more than bargained for. 9.5/10
