There is a no-bullying tolerance in the school,[5] and the UISD dress code is strictly enforced.[6]

Along with offering various academic courses (G/T & AP), United South is also a college prep school, and offers education in vocational programs (Construction Technology, Auto Body, Future Farmers of America, and Welding). It is also known for its Academy of Global Business and Advanced Technology.
