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.

When I moved to Ohio and started my sophomore year attending at Upper Arlington High School, I was amazed on how welcoming the students and teachers were. The school and my teachers are great and are very flexible with my soccer schedule. The resources for our education are amazing. I have never really had a bad experience. The only thing is parking.

I have loved coming to this High School, I have learned not only things I am required but things that I am sure that I will use in my future education steps, and in life. The teachers are driven to their work and provide help everytime you migth neaded. The comunity is integrated and the school spirit is one of the most amazing parts of coming to this school. There is always who is willing to help in whatever way they can, they make you develop skills in and out of the clasroom, and most of all they lead by example.

They call the police My experience here. Very unfriendly, unless you're from here, you're considered...

The Upper Arlington School system is hands down the BEST way to prepare students for their university studies. The way the teachers challenge their students is comparable to first year students at universities. Upper Arlington offers unique classes and experiences that allow for enormous amounts of...

The previous comment by 'A Community Member' from May 2014 is very accurate. And the disconnect that he/she indentified between the administration, teachers, students and parents has grown increasingly worse. UAHS has compromised the values that made it great a great school for previous generations....
