I graduated from Union in 2020. I had a good overall experience but with it being an alternative school, it was hard not to get wrapped up in trouble. I do feel more educationally stunted as opposed to my friends who went to regular schools. The teachers were great, they really cared about the students because of how small we were as a school. The community definitely looks at you differently if you go to union academy, they look down on you. that''s not the school's fault though, that''s just the area.
