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.

I had an okay experience through high school. One of the things I disliked was that they didn't always have teachers for classes so they would have a teacher from somewhere else on the smart board to teach the class. I am more of a hands on learner so this was hard for me. I did virtual school the last 2 years because I had a baby and this was easier for me so I could be at home with her. The best thing about this school is the flexibility to be able to do the virtual and still be included in on campus activities and sports. I would like to see teachers in all of the classrooms and more resource officers in the hallways to keep us safe.

I liked that we had a strong sense of community and everyone knew everyone. Our academics were competive but I feel I'm not ready for college and could have been more prepared.

All of my experiences at Union County High School have been positive even when Covid-19 was going on the school was still very involved and made sure everyone got the help they needed. Union County High School has given me the support and education I need for college.
