This school is so bad, dude on god. The teachers act like children and the academics are so badly lmao. Also, the sports that they do offer are terrible.

This school has a lot of fights and bullying. They offer very few sports, even less now than mentioned in the past review. They seem to lack on keeping staff. My son was a straight a student til he transferred here, now he's barely passing. The teachers lack in communication. They also do not make parents aware of things they should definitely should be aware of. Such as movies being played that your child should not be watching that they do not have permission to at home. The school seems to try and take the role of parent instead of allowing the parents. This creates a lot of rebellion in the homes. They tend to watch a lot of movies in classes instead of learning. I would not recommend this school to anyone!

A. Academic programs are great in Unatego. The teachers in the high school are well experience including many that have been teaching well over 20 years. The small size of Unatego allows great one-on-one contact with classes no bigger than 20. Each child is monitored well throughout the school year and is not likely to "slip through the system".B. Art and music programs are very well developed. AP courses for art are available as well as chorus in all grades, after school theater club and various music classes including one-on-one lessons throughout the school year. While sports are very successful, there isn’t as good of a variety because of the schools small size. Sports include golf, football, soccer, cheer leading, dance team, cross country, basketball, wrestling, volleyball, softball, baseball and track.C. All athletes on junior varsity and varsity are asked to attend and be recognized at the annual athletic awards night. Each athlete is given a certificate and a varsity patch. Academic awards are also given annually. Each teacher of each class they teach is asked to pick a student to receive an award for excellence throughout the year.D. Um, I don’t exactly understand this one..E. Being that it is a small down, there is a huge amount of parent involvement. Many of Unatego's Board Committee members are parents of students. Organizations such as the PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) and Booster Club have parents involved. It’s great to see such compassion in a small tight nit community.
