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.

The school is attended by around 400 students, which is a lot less than other high schools in the area. This gives the students the ability to connect with their teachers and get more one-on-one time.

University High School has been amazing for me, and I can't imagine being this happy at any other school. The academic rigor, quality of coursework, and opportunities available through the university make this school a special place.

I have never found a community better than at UHS. Everyone supports each other and although the coursework is rigorous teachers support us and we support each other. Even though we are a small school we have so many student run activities and clubs. Our school spirit is everywhere and I feel ready for college.

The equity rating for this school is straight cap. There is VERY little diversity. The school is NOT welcoming to POC. A very small % of students are actually socioeconomically disadvantaged. The demographics of the school do not reflect the demographics of the surrounding district in any way. There...

I am not speaking academically in this review. I'm speaking about our experience at UHS. My son started as a Freshman. He was having anxiety and depression problems. We tried a 504 plan. But it failed. They didn't have ANY sort of counselor beyond like the academic counselor. They told me they would...
