Hey, Guys don't go to this school. This feels like a prison to everyone. Even if you are a good student with good grades, the security guards are harsh and very rude and hate their jobs. They feel the need to yell at you because they can. You can't go to the bathroom like a normal person & you have 2 minutes in the bathroom and yell when you pass 2 minutes in the bathroom. Also the lunch is very bad & under cooked.In the morning you have to go through metal detectors & bag checks and you have your student Id.s with you or you will have to pay $5 for another one & you get detention,plus it is worse when you are late to school.They do random hall sweeps (that is when the teacher will lock the door & if you are not in the class when the bell rings, the rude security guards will sweep you up to a detention room.They will close off hallways for dumb reasons (like you have a class near a part a hallway is cut off, they will make you walk around the school & make you late even more. Also this school is a big prison cell, where once 2:30 hits everyone runs out the door. This school will make you mental and physically depressed from having 9 periods and as seniors that pack up you with class even you just need 2-3 more classes to take for credit. I think school needs to work making this school a sad and nasty place. I would never come back to this school even if someone paid me a million bucks, that's how bad this school is. There is nothing exciting here and motivation to come to school everyday. Mostly all students here either want to skip school or just drop school because of the treatment here.

Uniondale High School teachers communicate with the community and care about their students. Teachers are willing to stay after, meet with students during lunch and go beyond the call of duty. Parents are involved; and are a community of professionals (nurses, teachers, etc). Parents are willing to do whatever is necessary to support children and teachers.

I am thoroughly pleased! I was moving here from out-of-state with a prejudice against the school built-up from reading (GS) greatschools' (3) city rating (move often so I live off this site) & listening to 'soon-to-be' neighbors who heard from previous neighbors blah blah blah & had never walked through its doors (metal detectors - don't knock it. "All" schools that don't, there's a kid carry'n a weapon). The principle was hurt that I almost didn't take the house I have based on Uniondale school zoning. Learned my lesson in hmwrk (Still love GS) & double checking (get hands on). The principle's awesome (podcast, easily accessible to parents & kids, tough love, family oriented) & the guidance hasn't skip'd a beat yet (trustworthy energizer bunnies). This is our first year, and I can only hope there are many more like it! UHS!!
