Summary

Upland High is a public high school in Upland, California, serving grades 9–12 with 2,797 students in Upland Unified. Its 2025–26 results are above state averages in English, math and science, but one grade-level result stands out as a concern: science proficiency was 47% among 11th graders and just 14% among 12th graders, a 32-point gap. The 12th-grade result was 19 points below the state’s 33%, making senior-year science the clearest issue for parents to look into.

Compared with nearby schools, Upland’s strongest relative results are in math and science. Among the four nearby comprehensive high schools—Claremont High, Alta Loma High, Montclair High and Chaffey High—Upland ranks third of five in ELA and second in math and science. Its scores were 65% in ELA, 40% in math and 45% in science, compared with state averages of 49%, 38% and 36%. ELA and science also topped district results of 54% and 39%; math was below the district’s 41%. Upland’s math and science scores exceeded the nearby comprehensive schools’ averages by 5 and 6 points, while its ELA result was essentially even.

Over time, math and science have made the largest gains: since 2022–23, math proficiency rose 10 points and science rose 20, while ELA fell 4 points from its earlier high. SchoolDigger ranks Upland at the 76th statewide percentile with 4 stars; its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 22.3. The school reported 70% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, close to the nearby-school average of 71%; California is also marked as a statewide-free-meals state. SchoolDigger’s group rankings show a different picture for some students: Military Connected Students’ standing rose from the 15th percentile in 2023–24 to the 56th in 2025–26, while Asian Students ranked at the 51st percentile in 2025–26, below the school’s overall 76th percentile.
