However, its proficiency rates on specific subject tests have been variable, with lower rates in Algebra I but higher rates in English II compared to state and district averages. Additionally, Union High has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 31.95% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 19.97% to 48.39%.

This suggests that the district is allocating resources to support the educational needs of its students. Overall, Union High appears to be making progress in improving its academic performance, but there are still areas where the school could focus on to ensure more consistent and equitable outcomes for all its students.
