Unity High School is a nice safe school. They do not offer college readiness, college and career or college courses/credits to prepare graduates for a large university setting. Overall, it's a nice rural high school.

I really like that Unity High School is a small school and that allows students to have more one on one time with teachers. I like that it's in a small community and you can get to know everyone. If there was one thing that I could change about Unity it would be to add more dual credit courses and/or weighted courses so students that excel can stand out more.
