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.

My experience at Union High School was overall good, with great facilities and good teachers. More activities with the student body would have been more enjoyable for everyone

The best part of Union High School is the community. The people of Union are beneficial regarding different events in the high school. Whether it's sports, assemblies, or just a simple fundraiser project, the community always steps up and helps in any way it can. However, the worst part of Union High School is the need for more opportunities for its students athletically and academically due to its small size.

I have been in the Union RXI district for my entire school career and have had no problem and love all of the staff I have gotten to know. They are all willing to do anything for me and are some of the best people in general. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was that I was never really challenged in the school until my senior year when I took 6 AP courses.

My parents worked in town, so our options we...

I had to re-learn everything from the ground up because UHS did not properly prepare me for my future elsewhere. I now have strict guidelines on where my child...

We moved into Union RXI school district when our 2 eldest girls were in 3rd grade and 1st grade - there were never really any issues that could not be resolved without parental involvement until 8th grade into high school. Our experience has been that the bullying is out of control at the high schoo...
