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.

Union Local has an amazing atmosphere. Everyone is very friendly and no one is left out. Even though the atmosphere is great the teaching is just average or below. Some teachers are very good and the test scores show it but others just are there to get paid. The sports are very involved with the community and are very proud of the players. The administration is very involved with the students but not always do what is best. The school is a very safe place to be physically and emotionally. Everyone must go through a metal detector to enter the school and everyone is very friendly after you enter.

I enjoyed my small town school experience. I was able to be close with the staff and my fellow students. Being so close with the staff gave me a great learning experience. Union Local offers a lot of clubs and specialties. It was a great school.
