Absolutely loved the teachers, however the work is very extensive and can take a lot out of you if you're not prepared for such difficulties.

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 really enjoyed the curriculum at UHS. As it was a college preparatory, the status does not lie. It did well to ready their students with the college level workload and even the amount of rigor that higher education requires for its students. One thing that they could have done better, I would say, is providing more openness in talks about mental health and better resources to get help, considering the amount of stress and pressure its students are under.

UHS is not a bad school, but it’s not what it’s made out to be. The administration and counselors are very inadequate.

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
