These schools are very fine schools. I have found communities I can feel involvement in the couple of schools I have attended in this county. However I have noticed obvious favoritism. With the topic of dress code, I see frequently people who are in high social standing get to wear whatever they want but whenever a less motivated student does, they get in trouble. I have also had issues with resources at these schools. The help provided for college readiness and other aspects tends to cause more confusion than not. I know various other students that agree. Overall these are still great schools with their flaws.
I loved my experience in the Union County District. I use to go to Central Academy of Technology and Arts from freshman to sophomore year (2017-2019). Personally, I wouldn't change a thing. The only reason that I left is because I had a change in my career choice and I found CPCC's Dual Enrolled program to benefit me more. I would recommend any Union Country School to anyone!
Personally, I have really enjoyed my time here at UCPS. The teachers care about their jobs and help us out a lot with questions. There are some bad teachers here and there, but the county weeds them out quickly. The schools here are excellent, with mine, Marvin Ridge, having a (mostly) competent staff that gets things taken care of. I can't rate the principal because we just got a new one this year, but he seems to be doing well so far. There is no major bullying problems here, at least not in person. Most students are respectful of each other and their teachers. The school is also well funded and well protected with multiple resource officers on hand just in case. Overall, this school and most schools in the county are excellent and great for learning.
