I have enjoyed my time at Upper Lake High but I wish it could improve in so many ways. But overall it was great.

I like the small size and unity that comes with being a student here. Almost everyone knows each other here and the staff is supportive and easy to talk to.

I feel my school didn't prepare me for the real world but I have 3 teachers who are always motivating me and telling me you can accomplish anything if you just don't give up. 1 of those three teachers Mr. Holt has recently been telling us how the real world is not easy. He has told us about dealing with taxes, housing, transportation, etc.. He scares us a little by telling us how it'll be hard after college but at least now we know what to look for and what not to.

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!!
