Summary

Upland High is a large, comprehensive public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Upland Unified district, with nearly 2,800 students and a strong 4-star rating that consistently places it above state averages.

The school's greatest strength is its exceptional 96.9% graduation rate, which outperforms most nearby comprehensive high schools like Alta Loma High (95.2%), Montclair High (92.5%), and Chaffey High (87.4%). This success is particularly notable because Upland High achieves it while serving a student population with significant economic need. The school also shows remarkable effectiveness in supporting specific student groups, with its homeless student population ranking in the 96th percentile statewide.

While English Language Arts proficiency is a clear strength, math scores are an area for growth, falling below the district average. The school has made excellent progress reducing chronic absenteeism, though it remains slightly above the state average. Compared to alternative schools in its own district like Hillside High, Upland High demonstrates strong outcomes for its mainstream population, while effectively balancing resources and results within the broader Chaffey Joint Union High and Claremont Unified district landscapes.
