This school has completely failed in its duty to provide equitable access to education, support, and a safe learning environment. From the very start, my child was denied the opportunity for educational success, receiving no meaningful support for their struggles in reading, focus, or emotional well-being. Instead of recognizing and addressing these challenges, teachers ignored them, allowing my child to fall through the cracks.Worse, the culture at this school actively enabled bullying—both from students and teachers. Rather than fostering a supportive environment, staff dismissed my child’s struggles and reinforced a system where those who needed help were punished instead of assisted. My child was made to feel as though their struggles were a personal failing rather than a reflection of the school’s negligence. They were forced to endure relentless mistreatment, learning early on that showing distress led to punishment. As a result, they felt they had no choice but to mask their pain, smiling through tears just to avoid further harm.This school is not about education, nor is it about student well-being. It is about maintaining appearances and ensuring that only the students who fit their mold—those from wealthier families, those in sports, those who don’t challenge the status quo—are given opportunities to succeed. Those who struggle are left behind, ignored, or even punished for daring to need help.A school that prioritizes its reputation over the needs of its students is not a school at all—it is a system of failure. No child should have to endure what mine did. Until leadership is held accountable and systemic changes are made, this school will continue to fail the very children it claims to serve.

My son has a diagnosis of autism and attended Unity High School. He had an excellent experience with very supportive staff that encouraged him to achieve his goals. After graduating from Unity he attended the University of Illinois and graduated with honors and now works in the Psychology field. Without the positive and empathetic feedback and encouragement he received from the Unity staff this would not have been possible.

Amazing educational exerience and interpersonal involvement. The special education program far exceeds my expectations and the caring personnel and staff make this an "at home" feel while stressing the need and importance of education, bookwork, respect, and manners. The Principal is amazing, always visible, involved, and readily available to answer any questions or address any concerns any parent may have. The recess and PE programs are wonderful, trying to influence the youth of America today to stay in physical shape is hard and not the norm but Unity East does a great job of incorporating it into the daily schedule as well. Exceptional learning environment, and wonderful staff.
