This is a good school with kind staff who are always willing to help students. However, I do not believe they prepare students enough for college or equip them with vital skills to succeed in life. For example, I do not think their courses are challenging for advanced students. The advanced placement courses that the school offers are not rigorous and do not model true college courses. I hope that this school can make improvements in this area sooner rather than later.

UCA is a great school system with very little teacher turn over and a great admin team. They have a very solid career readiness high school for things like auto mechanics and vet techs. They could use some improvement for kids who are advanced learners in elementary and middle school. They have a very inclusive student population for those in EC and it's a safe campus.
