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 this school for the past 3 almost 4 years has been pretty good. I've had some great teachers from 9th grade and now as an incoming senior. For the most part the teachers and other staff are super involved with the kids and make sure that we're getting the correct information we need like classes and stuff. They also make sure that we're in class and if we were to not pass a class summer class and winter classes are an option to make up for the missing credits.

I have enjoyed my academic and sports experience at Uni. I like all of my teachers and they appear to be concerned about my future. This concern encourages me to strive for a higher education.

Something isn’t adding up. Touring the school it does not seem to be balanced in diversity either. Wonderi...
