Upland high school has many opportunities that supports my college career. They provided AP courses that I take advantage of to get ahead in college. They also offer CTE courses that support many different career choices for students. I do wish that they offered more help and support in those AP courses instead of crunching for time to learn everything before the test.

My time at Upland High School has been great but also not so great. When struggling with one of the deadliest disorders anorexia, I did not feel supported by Upland High. I needed support and often they could not do that for me. My friends have helped this experience though.

Upland High School is a great school, the best part of my experience is finding opportunities through classes, teachers and other staff. Without those resources I would've never signed up for programs that have helped me fall in love with healthcare. My least favorite part about the school is the students, most don't care enough to do anything.

School fights every other day, inside and outdoors. School threats are more common than you think, and the school doesn’t bother teaching students what to do in those emergency situations. Supportive and caring teachers aren't guaranteed. I’ve met really sweet and accommodating teachers, as well as...
