This school is hard but it is worth it. it takes a lot of guts to be at a school like this and i'm proud to be apart of the UHS History.

This school, while extremely challenging, is made to ready students for college with required college level courses, and such. Along with extremely nice teachers. Besides the teachers in this school, the students are much more welcoming than that of other schools I have seen and experienced.

Mixed feelings, (see update) Definitely prepared my child for a challenging future!

The words straight out of my childs mouth were, "When you go to school here it's like everything you were ever told you were good at your whole life was just b******t and everything you've loved and worked hard for you'll never accomplish because you're really just not good enough." this scares me so bad. They place way too much stress on the students and don't give enough chances for redemption through extracurriculars like drama and choir.

Before high school my daughter had leading roles with large monologues in performances in drama and was involved in music and loved it. Within the first year she dreaded going to school everyday. I worry about other children there as well and the possibility of the suicide rate going up due to the stress they put on the children for their academic performance.

If your child is as gifted as mine, they can handle the stress and disappointment. It will pay off in the future.

My child is handled it okay but had to seek counseling at times. The school had caused a lot of heartache for her but she's strong. I just worry about other children. So if you just want to stress your child out during the hardest time of their life then this is the school for you.

Now she is going to college and she said she can't believe she hated herself for the past 4 years only to be this blessed as she pointed to her transcripts which shows her entering college with 48 units. She was thrilled. Most of her required courses are out of the way and she can focus on her major. That puts her way ahead of the other students. She also tells me how much easier it is in comparison to University High School. The Washington Post was not kidding when they said University High School was the most challenging School in the nation. I'm just glad that she realized what a blessing it was and that all her hard work and perseverance has paid off.

In the 4 years at UHS she never had the opportunity to showcase her talents but is doing awesome at CSUMB, is now a paid intern for the program she's majoring in, is working at the Apple store and had a great part in Grease last spring! I am very proud of the independent young adult my daughter has become and I'm sure UHS played a big role in that!

The amount of work that this school puts on you may seem daunting. However, you do learn how to manage your time so you are able to get your schoolwork done on time each night. This is especially good because this is a skill that will last you for the rest of your life.

As a current student at Fresno State, I can say that UHS helped me out A LOT. First of all, this school is difficult because it is a pre-college high school. This in turn made studying for college easier. Also, this school enrolls you in college-like, and college, courses. By doing so, I was able to skip out on A LOT of GE courses and save money since I already had the units for those courses.

All in all, this school was wonderful to attend and the best 4 years of life.

Coming to UHS has been one of the greatest choices I could have made in my whole life. Everyone since I started coming is super nice and even though I am only a freshman, we have been coming together into a family. One thing I like about this school is that it is small and teachers are open to help you with any problem you need. All my teachers have been extremely nice to me and the work they give us is not impossible. It all depends on you, and if you are willing to work hard. I believe this school to be unique because we are all Understanding, Honorable, and Studious. I appreciate this school, everything it offers me, and definitely recommend it. Also the dances, events, spirit week, phoenix bowl, and the rules this school has are amazing, there is not really a dress code at all and there is always time to have fun.
