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.

I attended UCA from 6th grade to 12th. I enjoyed the wrestling program and other sports. I am a better student because of UCA's unique learning environments.

The classes offered are unique and are taught exceptionally. Teachers go to extra lengths for their students.
3.0 Junior
5/5/2023
Uwharrie Charter Academy has many wealthy students and there is an obvious hierarchy and the rich students automatically get elevated. The whole school is very classist and many things are very expensive. For example they don't have free or reduced lunch and lunch is almost 4 times the price here as it is in other schools.
