University High School (UHS) has a total of roughly 400 students. With small schools, the community feels tighter, and everyone feels like family. The staff and teachers develop a strong bond where they can communicate with honesty and openness. UHS provides a safe space of support for those who may face problems at home, and its understanding staff and students create a welcoming atmosphere for all.
The school also has an excellent curriculum that guides students towards academic excellence. Students are required to take AP and dual-enrollment classes, which adequately prepares them for the next level in college.
UHS trusts its students to be understanding, honorable, and studious. There are no staff members patrolling the campus because there is no reason to; the students at UHS display proper behavior.
A school with academic excellence, with a welcoming environment, with a strong community of kind students, deserves no less than five stars. It is not just a school; it is our home.

University High School is really amazing! I am a Freshman, and I have really enjoyed my first year here. Students have lots of spirit, and we are proud to be who we are. Our curriculum is top-notch, and taught by teachers that really do care about students. Almost all teachers are available at any time of day, to assist students that have questions. Of course, you can not talk about UHS without discussing our stellar music department. With several practice rooms, several large ensemble rehearsal rooms, a fully equipped recording studio, and 4 years of musicianship and performing groups classes, students are able to submerge themselves into a deeper level of musical thinking and performance. There is nowhere I would rather be than UHS.
UHS is overall a great school for academics, and the teachers are very supportive and helpful whenever you need them. Counselors are also great resources that are unmatched in any other school, and they work hard to ensure your success in the future. The bathrooms and campus are EXTREMELY clean, and I've never felt uncomfortable once on the campus. Math and science teachers are also unmatched anywhere else, and they take careful time to ensure everyone understands the concepts.
