I love most of the teachers here! The teachers are well qualified and you truly learn from the best. It is true; the workload is intense. University High School is for students who aren’t lazy and are willing to put in the work. I did and everything has paid off! Thanks to the opportunities provided to me and the academic readiness, I will be attending a prestigious out of state college! I’m addition, the class size is small which allows you to know everyone. Everyone who goes here cares about school which is soo nice compared to other schools where students don’t listen and are always on their phones. This school is amazing, but it needs more funding. We need new buildings and money for our individual school needs.
University High School is a great high school for students that wish to push themselves beyond their comfort zone. While it does have a difficulty curve, especially for those that aren't accustomed to intensive learning and college-level courses, the benefits are all worth the challenge. The teachers actually show a love for learning, not only in students but of their respsective subjects as well. Administration is flexible and quick to respond to any question or issue you need answered or solved, which is a breath of fresh air for a student like me, who came from a school with less-than-adequate administration. Overall, University High School lives up and blows away its expectations, serving as a great basis of college readiness before continuing into higher-level education.
Because this school is centered in the middle of the campus of another school, it's hard to establish any sense of campus identity there. Having to share with another, the less focused school makes it hard to have our own place on campus. Many, many, students believe we are on their campus to keep the other school from being disconnected from district budgeting., which in turn, sometimes even complicates student relations there between the two schools. Overall it is a good school with a very challenging curriculum, but one thing this school lacks is efficient counselling and mental health resources that match up with the demands of the curiculum.
