(2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Excellent school counselors. Although, the study body isn't very impressive. There are a lot of drugs, drug related issues in the city of Upland/Upland High School. Most of the students are transfers from surrounding cities.. especially Pomona, CA( :( !) I do not think this is the safest school for your child to be in. Gang Violence and drugs revolve around attending children- mostly underground which faculty isn't aware of. Beware. I wouldn't dare let my child attend.
