School Overview

University High sits in the heart of Irvine, one of Southern California's most meticulously planned communities, where tree-lined streets and top-tier schools are practically part of the city's DNA. The school's math and science scores are genuinely standout — hovering near the top 5% statewide — making it a natural fit for families with kids who lean toward STEM, especially given the proximity to UC Irvine and a local job market dense with tech and biotech employers. If you're moving to Irvine and want a public high school that can hold its own against the region's private options, University High deserves a serious look.
