Summary

Upland Elementary serves 404 students in kindergarten through grade 6 in Upland, California, as part of Upland Unified. Its most important academic challenge is science: in 2025–2026, 27% of students were proficient, well below the state, district and nearby-school averages.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject relative to benchmarks, though results were below the state and district: 48% were proficient, compared with 49% statewide and 54% in the district. Math proficiency was 35%, versus 38% statewide and 41% in the district; science was 27%, versus 36% and 39%. Among 11 nearby schools, Upland ranked sixth in ELA and math and seventh in science. Grade results show a brighter spot in third grade, where 50% were proficient in both ELA and math, and a concern in fifth grade, where proficiency was 42% in ELA and 21% in math.

Results have improved since 2022–2023—by 2 percentage points in ELA, 4 in math and 4 in science—but the latest year brought declines of about 10 points in both ELA and math. The science gap with the state widened by 2 points over the longer period. SchoolDigger’s statewide standing fell from the 68th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 52nd percentile in 2025–2026, with a 3-star rating. Its group rankings also dropped notably: the percentile for how well the school serves Hispanic students fell from 82 to 62, and for students with low socioeconomic status from 84 to 61. The 22.2 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 was among the lower ratios nearby, while 87% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; statewide, all students receive free school meals, so the school’s figure is its reported eligibility measure.
