This is an excellent school in all regards. My son is a good student, and I was worried that he would 'burn out' as some good students do, in a hard-driving 'highly competitive' school. However, at Union Mine he is receiving an excellent education in all areas, is not 'stressed out', is having a good

My only criticism: no orchestra program, no string ensemble - but this part of California seems only to have school bands - marching bands, concert bands, jazz bands, little or nothing in high school for classical music (with some rare exceptions) - too bad.

I have been to four high schools due to my parents moving. I went to Folsom, Sacramento, San Juan, and UM. UM has friendly staff and teachers. UM is in El Dorado/Placerville. Most of the students at UM act differently than students from the city. UM is primarily white, I would say 95% white. Most

UM provides many AP classes and advance classes. Since UM is in Placeville, the school is very much isolated. There are not many places where students can go near UM for fun. The closest fast food is near the freeway, 5-6 min drive. W/b Thank you Read less
