Summary

Magnolia Elementary enrolls 506 students in kindergarten through grade 6 in Upland, California, and is part of Upland Unified. Its latest results show strong performance across all three tested subjects: 63% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 57% in math, and 44% in science. Most importantly, Magnolia was above both the state and district in all three subjects.

Math is Magnolia’s clearest strength, while third grade is a relative weak spot. Its math proficiency was 18 percentage points above the state and 15 points above the district; ELA leads were 13 and 9 points, and science leads were 8 and 5 points. Among nearby schools serving the same grades, Magnolia ranked third in each subject, behind Pepper Tree Elementary and Valencia Elementary. Fourth grade stood out: Magnolia had the highest nearby fourth-grade results in both ELA (76%) and math (63%). In third grade, however, math proficiency was 45%, below the district’s 50% and the state’s 47%; third-grade ELA was 46%, slightly below the district but above the state.

Scores have slipped since 2022–2023, especially in the latest year: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Magnolia declined 8 percentage points in ELA, 6 in math, and 8 in science. Its lead over the state has narrowed, although it remains ahead in every subject. SchoolDigger ranked Magnolia in the 78th percentile with 4 stars in 2025–2026, down 8 percentile points from the prior year; it remained near the top of nearby schools, behind Pepper Tree and Valencia. Context for families includes a 21.9 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, the lowest among nearby schools, and 44% free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with a nearby-school average of 71%. SchoolDigger’s Special Education Students percentile fell from 92 to 72 over two years, and its Low Socio Economic Status Students percentile fell from a 90 peak to 72.
