My 3rd child is currently attending UHigh. The academic, electives and extracurricular programs offered are excellent. Students are encouraged at every turn to participate in something. College prep classes are also offered. Parent involvement is high and encouraged. Plus UHigh has some very high quality student athletes. As a parent of a varsity GSL football starter and track star, I have been quite pleased. The only negative was during my daughter's time there. Teachers were not very concerned about her learning shortfalls. This put enough pressure on her during her 12th grade year to withdraw. She earned her GED 6mo later. Since that time (5yrs ago) things have changed for the better. There are still several teachers & coaches who desperately need to retire. Their math courses need to undergo a change, w/less focus on the WASL & more on actual teaching, so students can truly comprehend and understand each part.
I currently have one child at U-High who simply 'blossomed' when he arrived. Teachers were quick to spot his potential and direct him in areas he might not otherwise have considered. Like every school, U-High has its great teachers, not-so-greats, and its average. To date, I have been unimpressed with the quality of science teachers my son has had, however, in the field of literature, I've been quite thrilled for him. Review the math curriculum at this school to see if it meets your child's needs. As for parent support - fantastic! Looking forward to band for my next child in two years. Have been told the instructor is phenomenal! This is a 4 period day and my son has found teachers quite accessible when needed. He thrives under the 4 period day but I admit it might not be for everyone.
