My experience in Uniondale High School has been an interesting to say the least. I have gone through so much threw out my years at Uniondale like some of the best teachers and friends a person could ask for and great support through my journey in the school. But I have also faced safety concerns from other students or through the food we have been given but I learned to push pass these obstacles and stay positive. What I would like to see change in Uniondale is the security some of the security just don't care and will let students do what they want, I hope this changes for the future.

The school was great for me personally. The teachers were good, and they helped us feel prepared for college. The security was always persistent in keeping us safe, and the education was great.

Uniondale high school was an interesting experience on an academic and personal level. I feel that Uniondale high school has a stronger music and art focus than academics such as science, math, English, or history. On a personal level, Uniondale high school has yet to get better at. The need for metal detectors and security guards in every corner and hallway should have ensured security, but it wasn't enough for the many incidents that have occured.

Uniondale High School teachers communicate with the community and care about their students. Teachers are willing to stay after, meet with students during lunch and go beyond the call of duty. Parents are involved; and are a community of professionals (nurses, teachers, etc). Parents are willing to...
