This school is amazing. Great academics, teachers are wonderful, administrators are caring and supportive of the students. This school is very diverse due to students coming from 21 districts within the county. There are no sports-students must go back to their home district for those, however, there are many clubs, Honor Society and philanthropic opportunities. Students get the opportunity to follow future career paths while excelling in academics. Seniors in UC Tech and Academy for Performing Arts get dual enrolled at Kean University and get to spend their senior year experiencing college and gaining college credits. My daughter is so happy here!
UC Tech is a great school for those looking for a challenge as well as a school with various opportunities for students. Most if not all of the academies here offer some sort of outside program. For example, I'm in the Sustainable Sciences academy, and all of the students in this academy are automatically members of FFA. Additionally, Sustainable Sciences students spend the entirety of their senior year taking college classes at Kean University, allowing us to experience firsthand what it's like to be a college student. The only major issue I have with my school is that there's a definite lack of communication between the school and parents as well as the school and students in regards to major events. For example, UC Tech students were never alerted to changes in the schedule during the virtual/hybrid environment; only parents received an email, and there was a lot of confusion regarding the subject. Overall, UC Tech is a great school, and I highly recommend applying to go here!
I'm a junior here and I've really enjoyed my time here. I go to UCTECH, specfically, and I feel like everyone here is very welcoming and nice. Of course, there are occasional things here or there that aren't great, but as a general school culture, it's really accepting. They really prepare you for college and give you a lot of resources. I would also say, that the cafeteria food isn't food, but that you should come here if you're considering it!
