Union High School Reviews
Rating 3.46 out of 5 517 reviews
I have personally enjoyed Union High School. Though there are many down sides to it, it overall is a decent school to learn and be prepared for the next level. There are good programs, classes and teachers there so it makes it better.
Union High School in NJ was an incredible experience! I made lifelong friends, had some good teachers, and participated in fun extracurricular activities. The school spirit was contagious, but I they always mostly only focused on Hispanic heritage and left out other interesting and unique cultures, The football games were always a blast. The diverse student body made for a vibrant and inclusive environment. Union high school was not all that but I'll never forget the memories made in Union High School. Go team!
During my four years at Union High School I was able to grow and evolve into the person I am today. I played tennis where I met one of my closest friends. Playing this sport really opened the way for me to become social, make bonds, and meet new people after having online school during my Freshman year. I have also had lots of interesting learning experiences. Not many schools offer a diversity of electives so I am grateful to have the opportunity to take classes like Allied Health and Anatomy and Physiology. During my Sophomore year the school faced a lot of struggles but thanks to our hard working administration we, as a whole school, saw immediate positive change. I am so excited to see how my Senior year will go, I hope to make good memories during my last year of High School.
