Upper Arlington High School Reviews
Rating 3.98 out of 5 220 reviews
As someone who has been going to Upper Arlington Schools since Kindergarten, I’ve definitely gotten to see multiple sides of the educational environment. I only started having strong feelings towards the district only after attending the high school. Upper Arlington has some of the best teachers out there. All my teachers have helped me reach my full potential and have inspired me to strive for greatness. They are kind and and take working with kids/teens seriously. However, as some who is not part of the Upper Arlington demographic and is a person of color, the lack of diversity has really stuck out to me. Majority of Upper Arlington’s population is white and so I almost always don’t feel welcome or included and I wonder if my race plays a role in certain opportunities I get. The worst part about this is that there seems to be no evident change that has taken place and this subject isn’t taken seriously; mostly among the students.
I enjoy the emphasis that Upper Arlington places on education. Most of my teachers have been amazing, except for the math department. The students and teachers both know the importance of furthering education beyond high school. I also enjoy the opportunities that Upper Arlington offers for its students, such as clubs and varsity sports. There is a multitude of clubs that Upper Arlington offers for all different interests. My favorite activities are orchestra, soccer, and computer science. The course offering is also very diverse, and it is open to suggestions.
However, Upper Arlington is not without its problems. As a suburban community, many of the students come from wealthy families. As a result, they don't feel the consequences of the actions, meaning that they treat the school and other students with disregard. Vandalization runs rampant; bathrooms are destroyed, walls are written on, sports equipment is mistreated, leaving the understaffed janitors to clean up the mess.

I absolutely loved UA. As a current college student I now see how incredible the Upper Arlington school system was at preparing me for the college world. Additionally, most of my teachers were phenomenal in the classroom, as well as people. I hope to move back to UA following my college graduation!
