I loved every second of my 4 years at Uxbridge. The school spirit is amazing and the teachers are always there for you! I don't know who I would be if I had gone to a different high school. I just know that Uxbridge made me the successful and independent woman I am today. One day when I have children,

While the school does need some updating, i believe that Uxbridge makes up for it in other catagories. The teachers are outstanding. Some teachers do have some unorthodox ways of teaching but that is what keeps students as myself happy to be here. As a new teacher told my class 'Uxbridge has something

I myself am happy to say i have a good relationship with all my teachers. I am currently a junior at Uxbridge High School. What ever bad people havee to say about Uxbridge, you should really listen to the students. Aren't we the ones who have to go to the school? Read less

As a recent graduate of Uxbridge High School I would like to express my opinion on the school. I graduated in 2004 and at that time the school had great teachers who work hard to keep the students on track but had no facility in which to do this. The high school was overwhelmed with the student population
... Read more as were the classrooms, which made it difficult for one on one interaction between shy students and their teachers. There were 2 computer labs, containing maybe 50 computers total, to accommodate the 500 or so students. In short the school needs updating. The teachers are a great group of individuals who work hard to further the students education and the coaches on the athletic teams and after school groups work hard to keep the kids out of trouble.

I have 3 children who have been thru the system, with a 4th currently in elementary. All of them are successful, motivated students. I have found that there are a very few teachers at the high school level who have an odd (to say the least) way of running their classes, but my kids have always enjoyed

They are all doing well in their classes. On the other side, the Superintendant is a great guy and has addressed any of my concerns in a professional manor without making the kids uncomfortable. My sincerest thanks to all in Uxbridge, you have helped me raise some very fine kids! Read less

A fair overall program at best. While I am a staunch believer that a child gets from school what he/she puts into it, I feel the programs and teachers fail to develop the average student. Parent involvement is fair. As another respondent stated, extracurricular activities are readily accessible due to

My youngest child will graduate from UHS this year. The oldest is now a senior in an academically competetive college. Both children were given good advice and support by guidance counselors. The curriculum prepared them for 4 year colleges. They had opportunities to get involved in sports and activities
... Read more because the school is small and participation is encouraged. As an involved parent, I have always received quick responses from teachers, administrators and guidance counselors. Discipline has been fair and effective. Sadly, the hallways and rest rooms in the building are overcrowded and the science and technology facilities need updating. These negatives are outweighed by the quality of the academics and the friendly, wholesome atmosphere. Read less
