The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have gone to Upper Lake schools since kindergarten and I have grown up with most of the students I still go to school with. Growing up in this small community has been a pleasure and has taught me so much. I have close friends that I've had since kindergarten that hopefully be by my side for the rest of my life. The teachers and staff have made a tremendous impact in my life and my choices not only during school but where I'm going after school.

The teachers are great and will listen, help you, and support you. However we have a limited number of classes because we have a small school.

Even though Upper Lake High School is a small, the program offered there was sufficient to prepare both of my children for successful completion of bachelors degrees at California State Universities: Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and CSU Long Beach. Both now have professional careers with good benefits....

Being a small school, I think the quality of teaching versus learning is improving. At least I hope so now that I have a Freshman there. They have cleaned up the teachers that were just there to collect a check. I believe they have a good teaching staff this year and will rank better. Go Cougars!!
