The teacher are really caring for the most part but they put so much pressure on the students, even in on-level classes. The preach positive mental health but force us to watch really triggering videos about suicide and self harm. On top of preaching positive mental health, they put such a pressure on perfect grades and GPAs even though they say they don't. The diversity is so low, especially racially and it creates a lot of tension. The students are really ignorant due to the lack of diversity and the teachers just let micro-aggressions constantly slide by. There's a variety of food but they have vending machines with $1.25 Kickstart energy drinks, they sell Starbucks bottled coffee, and have their own student-lead cafe to "teach business skills" or something like that... On top of being unhealthy and promoting bad habits, the food is so overpriced and we have closed lunch so the only other option is packing food. Surface level, it's a good school.
It was generally a normal high school experience. The school faculty work well and help troubled students when shown to be able to grow. Thankfully the school is being rebuilt as the ceiling tiles were falling off and rats were discovered occasionally in the classrooms. Teachers were either hit or miss, with some wonderful teachers mixed in with some not great ones. Diversity is an expected low. Academics were sometimes unbalanced and although it prepped somewhat by helping us apply to college, that was all.
Upper Arlington is a great high school as that is strives for academic performance and dedication. It’s very resourceful and teachers are willing to help each student. Food is healthy and culturally enriching. Even though the students body’s isn’t as diverse, the school is very culturally with clubs and outside programs. My only real complaint is the construction of a new school as the old one is slowly crumbling. This limits parking temporarily but after the new school is built, parking won’t be an issue. Upper Arlington high school doesn’t do STEM which was upsetting for me at first (as I want to be an engineer) but the school offers many classes, clubs and outside programs that fulfill the track of an engineer. Without this school, I never thought I would be where I was now. My high school experience is amazing for me and others around me. As a junior, an athlete, an engineer, and a student, I can proudly say UA was the best experience I can ask for.
