University High School Reviews
Rating 3.8 out of 5 226 reviews
University High School is an excellent institution, providing massive STEM opportunities as well as education in the arts, music, theater, cultures, and multiple different languages. The school is packed with varying levels of courses, from on level to recovery to AP and dual credit college courses. That alongside the UHS/WVU Access pairing makes class availability excellent. The schools administration tends to make choices that benefit the school, and the teachers are excellent, some of which being nationally ranked. UHS doubled down on STEM with extra math and physics courses and a fully fleshed out Project Lead the Way path. Having taken those, I can confirm that the teachers are knowledgeable, enjoy the subject, and care for their students education.
I have had many opportunities to pursue different interests at this school. I take part in almost all aspects of UHS including drama, band, athletics, Student Council, TSA, and any other opportunity I find to show school spirit. I have always felt supported by teachers and staff at this school, but I know others who have not. In my experience, the teachers are there to push you to do your best and are relatively understanding. I truly enjoy my experiences at UHS and hope to have another year filled with excitement and learning. Go Hawks!
UHS is a wonderful school with fantastic teachers, coaches and administration. Any time I have reached out the a teacher or administrator I was answered promptly and with kindness. My only complaint would be the as with any high school it's not too difficult to skip a class. But realistically I know teenagers will do whatever it takes to do what THEY want to do. Overall UHS is a wonderful school.
