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 high school has a lot to offer. I had 3 kids to graduate from Union high school. The academics are great. The worst part was frequent disruptions with lockdowns.

The education is overall great and much better than where I came from before. I am very happy I moved to Union and am not going here.

The school is okay but there are so many problems. The bathrooms are always locked there are tons of fights. The school isn't the cleanest the food is nasty. The teachers can be rude and not helpful at all.

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...
