Summary:
Zip code 91785 has one listed school, Upland Junior High, a middle school serving grades 7–8 in Upland Unified with 599 students. In 2025–26, proficiency was below state and district results in ELA, mathematics, and science. The clearest concern is mathematics: 17% were proficient, 21 percentage points below the state and 24 points below the district.
There is no meaningful top-or-bottom school comparison because this is the only school in the list. Across all grades, ELA proficiency was 35%, compared with 49% statewide; science was 19%, compared with 36% statewide. Eighth-grade math is a particular weak spot: 14% were proficient, 23 points below the state’s grade 8 result; seventh-grade math was 20%, 17 points below its state comparison. The reported chronic absenteeism rate is also striking: 89%, versus 21% in the district and 18% statewide—68 and 70 points higher, respectively.
Science is the clearest positive trend: proficiency rose 9 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, compared with a 3-point statewide rise, and the state gap narrowed by 6 points. ELA slipped slightly as the state improved, while math rose by about 1 point and its state gap widened slightly. SchoolDigger’s ranking position improved by 65 places between 2023–24 and 2025–26, but its rating remained one star and its percentile stayed at 24th. For additional context, the school’s 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 18.8, and 91% were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible; the data also notes that all California students receive free school meals.
