I came into this school in my senior year of high school. Coming from CA I was not accepted into any of the cliques, and as a hispanic was often the recipient of racial outbursts. I, honestly, hated my time there and took refuge at Aims, which I am grateful we were required to attend simultaneously.
As a former student at UCPS from 2000-2003, I experienced all that the school had to offer first-hand. Here are a few of my observations, catagorized by their relevance to the student: Pros: 1. Great student-to-teacher ratio. This helped me to receive adequate help on assignments in almost all cases. 2. Well-educated staff. Several of the teachers that were on staff while I attended UCPS had previous teaching experience at the collegiate level, and were for the most part fairly well-versed in their respective fields. Cons: 1. Small student body. From my perspective, the 'everybody knows everybody' attitude led to an accelerated form of teen angst, and formed several 'cliques', making legitimate social skills difficult to learn. 2. Very few organized sports. Physical activity is hardly encouraged at UCPS, and that's a shame. Overall, a good school for those seeking post-secondary education. Rated at 4 out of 5 stars.
I went to UCPS for five year and my senior year of high school I was required to take Aims classes. I graduated from UCPS with a diploma and I was ready for my sophomore year of college. It was a great school and its fundamentals taught me well. The school isn't crowded. The class size was very small and it was easier not only for teachers to interact with students but for the students to interact with their classmates. I knew almost everyone in the school.
