UHS has an exceptional Magnet Program for IB and Global Technologies. It also has an outstanding performing arts department. My daughter is graduating this year (2017) from the IB Magnet program. University gave her the opportunity to excel academically and be accepted into a top 10 college in the United States. Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
