I am a student here as a sophomore. In my freshmen year, there were tons of fights and lunch would always be cut short due to this. I have been in a physical altercation myself and got suspended from UHS but prior to this I would always get confronted by girls thinking the wrong thing or assuming the worst. I left in-school UHS but still attend through UHS Independent Study. Since then, I've been getting straight A's compared to my old grades which were A's and B's.

I've honestly had a great experience these 4 years. when I felt lost or depressed and maybe didn't want to talk about these problems at home this was like a 2nd home with everything I needed. I've never once had a bad teacher and felt so welcomed. It's a great school even tho students can be a bit much .... but that's just high school

Upland high school is an amazing school located in Southern Upland. It consists of mainly Hispanic students, like myself. The best part on campus is the teachers and clubs. The best club is Roots & Shoots, Environmental Club. The worst part of the high school is the fact that many kids do not care about school. It is mainly because of their home environment and the way they were brought up.. But administration is working hard to inspire all students to believe that can achieve great things.

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...

This school is terrible. The teachers do not do their job, the students are despicable, and this school is way too overcrowded. I'm so glad I transferred my kids to Rancho Cucamounga High School. I would not recommend this high school to anyone, and I feel bad for people who have to attend.
