University Laboratory High School (Urbana, Illinois)
The University of Illinois Laboratory High School,〔(Official website )〕 known as Uni, or Uni High, was established in 1921 and is a laboratory school located in Urbana, IL on the engineering section of the University of Illinois campus. Its enrollment is approximately 300 students, spanning five years (the traditional grades 9-12, preceded by a composite 7th and 8th grade year known as the "subfreshman" year).〔Members of the Uni High community usually refer to subfreshmen as "subbies." ( (Use of the term "subbie" in the Online Gargoyle, Uni's student newspaper ))〕 The school is notable for the achievements of its alumni, including three Nobel laureates and a Pulitzer Prize winner;〔(Chicago educator named new director of University High School )〕 in 2006 and 2008 it was recognized as a "public elite" school by ''Newsweek'' because of its students' high scores on the SAT.〔("Best High Schools: In A Different Class: The nation's most elite public high schools fall outside the Newsweek list" )〕 Until the recent SAT testing changes the total SAT scores varied from year to year ranging from 1400 to 1600. The average ACT score is a 32.
==Funding and relationship to the University of Illinois==
Although Uni is located within the Urbana School District, it is not operated by the school district, nor does it receive any property tax revenue from this or any other district. Public funding comes only through the statewide per-pupil distribution financed in the Illinois state budget. Additional funding comes from donations by alumni and parents of current students. Enrollment is competitive, rather than being dependent upon residency in a particular district.
For many years, the school was funded by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as an institution to experiment with educational curricula and to teach university students majoring in education, but the University of Illinois withdrew most of its support in the early 1980s. The school currently gets its money from state aid, allocation from the University of Illinois Provost’s office, fundraising, and fees from students. The "laboratory" aspect persists in certain classes. An experimental math course was taught in the early 2000s and teachers continue to experiment in small, creative ways with their courses to adapt to each grade of around sixty students. The relationship to the University also provides a number of other benefits to the school's students. The proximity to the University campus provides a stimulating political climate, and access to the University's library system is equivalent to that of any undergraduate. The high school library is a branch of the University library system and for this reason has been called "the largest high school library in the world." Additionally, Kenney Gym, the University's former men's gymnasium, is used by Uni for both physical education and as practice and game space for the volleyball and basketball teams. While access to certain facilities that are supported by student fees – such as the ARC recreation center – is not granted to Uni students, who are not assessed these fees, the school's relationship with the University of Illinois allows students over the age of 15 with sufficiently high grades to enroll in courses at the University.〔("Concurrent enrollment" )〕 Credit earned in this manner may then be applied to future study at the university level.
