    "I'm a parent of a student who just graduated last week after 4 incredible years at Uni. I truly cannot comprehend some of the most recent negative posts about Uni. This school provides whatever you want in terms of education AND extracurricular activities. Sure, Uni offers some of the most challenging AP classes to prepare students who aspire to attend the best college they can...BUT, many of my son's friends are not in that category and have greatly enjoyed taking "regular" classes, playing sports, etc. Yes, many of his friends are in the 3.8 to 4.2 GPA range, him included...but, these are normal, everyday kids who play sports, work part time, play video games, etc. They are good kids who we've known since moving to the area 9 or 10 years ago. Any school is what you make of it. Some of my son's friends are headed to local community colleges, some to UCs and a few are headed to the top colleges in the nation...yet they all hang out together and support each other. Not sure how anyone can say Uni is "failing" it's students. High school is about getting prepared for the "real world." Uni gets a perfect score in my book for that!"

    "The school needs to wake up and realize that not everyone aspires to be a doctor or lawyer, or dreams of going to an Ivy league school or a UC. While the majority of teachers I had at Uni were great, fun people, some teachers were either mind-numbingly incompetent or pompous tools. Even many students were so smug that they'd look down their noses at those who didn't receive a 4.8 GPA. High School is supposed to help one prepare for college, not be much a hundred times harder than it. There is too much pressure on students to be the next Albert Einstein that they turn into mindless drones with no social skills or the ability to expand his or her creativity. I understand hard work and getting good grades is essential to being successful in school, but seriously, LIGHTEN UP. And to any current students reading my post: THERE IS NO SHAME IN GOING TO A COMMUNITY COLLEGE. Most college kids have no idea what they want to major in, and even when they think they do, most end up changing it. CC is the best place to experiment with what you like."

    "I moved so my child could go to this school. I am concerned that these last reviews might have some truth to them.I am worried that this school is only focusing on scores and academics.There was a fight last week with two girls,where one was punched in the mouth where she was bleeding.There needs to be some kind of assembly and community meeting about bullying in our schools in light of the tragic events in Ohio and the tragic homicide in Long Beach.This school needs to be more involved in it's students overall mental and emotional health rather then just academics.It seems that when I called and spoke to someone that my child had witnessed this they already had enough info and the person involved was not bleeding that bad? REALLY???(the person actually said this to me) I think this needs to be addressed and people are afraid of speaking up."

    "I just read two more reviews submitted by students regarding University High School. I hope the staff at University HS, and IUSD School District hears the "voices" of the students. The school is failing its students. Education is more than standardized tests scores. It's job is to teach students to learn, and to acquire knowledge and to build on each student's talents, and abilities. Academics are important, but more importantly is to build self esteem, and hope, and recognition that each student has a God given talent and a right to succeed. No two students are alike, they do no look act or think alike which is why many do not excell in this environment that expects them to learn alike. Remember the quote of Steve Jobs, "Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact, that everything around you that you call life was made up by people NO SMARTER THAN YOU... the minute you understand that, you can poke life; you can change it, you can mold it, enbrace it, make your mark upon it. Once you learn that you will never be the same again."

    "This school never inspires students. It puts them down and doesn't care. There is never any positive reinforcement. They are arrogant because of their rating, which they don't deserve."
