Nevada Union High School

As an alumna, I can tell you that the school is larger, with a better library, a wrestling gym and dance facility, than it was in the 80s. The cafeteria's been remodeled as well. The school still feels like a throw-back to the fifties. Many of the teachers there now have been on campus for a very long time. There are few new teachers. While there are many good teachers, and many who poor a great deal of energy into their students, your best bet appears to be to enroll your students in the Humanities Academy, the Partnership Academy, or hope they get into an honors, AP class, or elective program to anchor them on campus.

I think Nevada Union is a prison for kids! And because of the size of it, kids are at risk with drugs, friends and the faculty is old and most of them need to retire!

I have two children that have been able to get what they have put into this school. That is the key with NU if you want to be involved the opportunity is there. There are many bright and talented kids that go to NU some work at school and some don't as in all public schools, the great thing about NU is that you can always find a teacher or counselor willing to support a student who is willing to participate. My first child graduated and was accepted at about 50% of the top 25 schools---not bab...and better than odds some private schools.

Outstanding principal and teaching staff. Outstandind estra curricula activities.

As a student at Nevada Union it is a thrill to watch the sports games. The coaches and counselors truly and genuinely care about each student or athlete. If you take the time to talk to some of these amazing people you will find that they are in fact human like us and are prone to bad days and emotions. There are of coerce, as in any school, several bad teachers. In any school there is bound to be, Public or Private. As a scholar/athlete there is no special treatment or overlooked grades. I am treated as an equal to any other student in the class. It is hard for parents to understand that their child is being treated fairly because each parent, by no fault of their own, is bias toward their own kids work weather they admit it or not.

Football program - excellent, but information about activities is not given is a timely manner. You can t plan anything because your student can t miss a practice or other fuction, even though they just told you about it three days ago. Learning disabilities are not adequetly addressed at this school. The general attitude is, This is High School and the student is on his own. If the student is not self motivated and the parents don t fight their way through the pass the buck attitude, the student will have a hard time suceeding at this school. There ARE some great teachers, coucelors and coaches at this school. Unfortunatly, they are outnumbered. By the time teachers post their infomation to the teacher/parent computer system it is to late to make up work. The homework section is rarely used by the teachers - it is useless. Complaints fall on deaf ears.
