Summary:
The 91785 zip code in Upland, California, contains one public school, Upland Junior High, which serves 599 students in grades 7 and 8 within the Upland Unified school district.
This school faces significant academic challenges, with student proficiency rates in English, math, and science falling well below both district and state averages. Its performance has declined in recent years, moving from a 2-star to a 1-star rating.

For parents, this indicates a school that requires substantial support and resources to help its students succeed academically.
