University Heights High School Reviews
Rating 3.99 out of 5 151 reviews
University Height is a highschool that gets you prepared for college. From calling teachers on a first name basis to taking college classes that gives you college credits.
My time at University Heights High School has been truly enriching, offering a wealth of opportunities and a supportive environment. The school provides a diverse range of extracurricular activities and a dedicated faculty and staff. The best aspect has been the abundance of resources and the encouragement received from teachers. However, I have observed a pervasive competitiveness and anxiety surrounding grades and marks, which I believe could be improved. Creating a more balanced and holistic approach to education, emphasizing personal growth and learning beyond grades, would be a positive change for the school community.
It was good overall, most of the staff are understanding and take help teach you in ways that suit you. Also since the school is pretty small you do tend to know a lot of people and gain connections with teachers and staff.
