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 think UHS is a great high school. I went there for all four years and felt my high school experience was better than most.

I've attended University High for three years, and my favorite thing about it by far is that it takes education seriously. I truly do feel like I've gotten a great education, and I feel college prepared. If I could change one thing, I'd make more of an effort to improve diversity within our school, because that's something we tend to lack.

This was literally weeks after the tragedy in Loundes county Virginia. When we went to the offic...

I am not sure why there are bad reviews here. This is an excellent school. I have been receiving a great education here. Most of the teachers that I have had are very passionate about what they teach and get subject matter across effectively. The principals here are very understanding for the most p...

Teachers here are unfair. There is a bigger football coach in my math class who is unfair to a special needs boy who is nonverbal. He will repeatedly stand behind him and say "I know you can hear me", instead of trying to help him get comfortable or understand. There are teachers who will follow gir...
