air-condition is non existent which makes focusing impossible, i go to school, cant focus, get home and learn/complete everything by myself. Administration answers 0% of the time as well which is awesome.

This school is a joke teachers don't have keys to get into there class rooms and even the field house students have to crawl thru a window to get there stuff. Don't get me started on staff my son had been thru 3 teachers for one class since school has started. They put no money into the athletic programs. All money goes to band program. The principal is a joke aswell. We cannot keep coaches due to this man. They stay for 1 season and quit. Students deserve better. I recived a message about ap classes 9 minutes before it started. How are parents supposed to plan if everything is last minute.

Está es la peor escuela que en todos los años de mi hijo desde elemental, Intermedia el a podido estar. La hight school es de lo peor en servicios para niños con necesidades especiales se trata. La transportación viene cuando quiere y casi siempre llega tarde por culpa del chófer que es un irresponsable y una persona sin modales ni ética moral. Poco servicial y deshonesto fallando en sus deberes. Que difícil saber que tengo que soportar años por venir en una escuela mediocre. Si hubiese sabido no lo inscribo en esta basura. Todo niño con necesidades especiales se merece lo mejor.

The recent decision to bar this year’s valedictorian from reciting her speech at graduation shows a real failure in leadership. The principle should be fired

Teachers do not teach. They just pile on the work and you have to teach yourself.

UHS is an excellent school that has given my child the opportunity to excel academically. The IB and Global Tech Magnet programs are top notch. UHS has an outstanding performing arts department that continues to receive top scores at state level competitions. There are a variety of clubs and organizations to become involved in.

University High School is an all-around great school. University High School has an International Baccalaureate program and a Global Technologies (GT) magnet program, which was formerly known as Global Information and Future Technologies (GIFT). The school has been named a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence.The Performing Arts group have brought many of Disneys plays to their stage. The UHS PTSA is always involved in pep-rallies, sporting events and volunteering opportunities. As long as I could remember, UHS has been able to put together great basketball teams both male and female. Football, many DIVISION 1 players have come from UHS. Currently the football team are District Champions and play in the 8A division. UHS' baseball team has also fielded many D1 athletes. UHS has many programs such as Marine ROTC, SADD, KEY CLUB, FFA and many other great clubs/organizations. The University Marching Band has a long history of quality performances. The marching band has received the highest rating at the FBA Marching MPA twenty-two of the school's twenty-three years. The band also participated in the 2013 St. Patrick's Day Parade in Chicago, IL. There are so many opportunities at UHS.

UHS is a wonderful school with an amazing faculty and staff. Students get just the right amount of freedom and discipline. I would not change a single thing about this school.
