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 have been at UA since 6th grade and have loved it. It is a very tight-knit, family environment where everyone is involved. The way our highschoolers interact with elementary ages is by far the best and most unique thing about UA. Older students get chances to interact often.

I went to UA all 4 years of high school. UA was a home and everyone as connected. With it being a k-12 school, everyone knew everyone and were able to relate to certain levels. Activities and academics were always amazing. As a varsity cheer alum as well, being connected in sports made my time at UA more enjoyable.

Union Academy is a great school with teachers and coaches who care. It's based on lottery and is small, so diversity and class options could be better.
