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.

The best part was being able to pick your classes that you wanted. The worse part was the distractions outside of classrooms. I would like to see a class that helps kids get ready for college.

I transferred to Union High School when I was a sophomore and my experience has been pretty average. The schools academics are normal but they have pretty strict rules about things here. I personally feel like a group of people can do something bad in that school and they'll add a rule that effects everyone.

Union High School is a great environment. Children from all different ethnicities come together to create a beautiful learning atmosphere. We as a whole support this community and radiate nothing more than peace and kindness. The bullying rate in this high school has gotten so low we are all so lovi...
