University High School Reviews
Rating 4.16 out of 5 455 reviews
I would love to see more student/staff involvement. I love the amount of school spirit that this high school displays. However I would like to also see more punctuality and service among staff members.
University high school was a great school when i moved here. The teachers are amazing and make you feel welcomed. They are all very understanding and are there for you for more than just work.
I like the education there . But is just lacks the motivation in the school to do work or feel welcomed in there. Plus the fact they don't have astronomy classes there . But its better than Waco high.
