Mrs Wayment the school principal is what makes this school. She has compassion and empathy. She demonstrates a kindness for all. She is a bridge for the Special education that she goes above and beyond for every child's inclusion. My youngest is in the North shore collaborative special education class. While there is a hardship of small town having teachers for this program and paraprofessionals. She is always there making sure we are safe and have support we need. My child adores her . My child is nonverbal and she looks to Mrs Wayment like a best friend the excitement and joy in my child's face greeting Mrs Wayment says it all. I can always reach out and feel validated when communicating with her. The North shore collaborative could take examples from Mrs Wayment as she steps up and leaves no child behind. I am sad we are leaving next fall and wish we could take Mrs Wayment with us. My advice to parents get involved and get to know Mrs Wayment

Staff: the staff here are not that good there are some teachers here that just want to leave they do not want to be there they won’t teach the students well and are not doing good that lots of the students are behind in work.Safety: the safety at this school is not good students are always in fights here and the principal doesn’t do nothing about it. The best he will do to control the students is yell and that’s it.Education: lots of students in the school are below average in grades and work. Some of the teachers are no help with the work.

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. The computer education program especially is excellent, with many students going on to win awards at regional and state competitions. The Academic Decathlon program is likewise excellent, dominating county competition for many years in spite of being the smallest comprehensive high school in Lake County and even winning the small school division for the state of California in 2004. Opportunities for scholarships are tremendous. The only down side is the recent cutbacks in programs due to inability to retain qualified staff in certain academic fields. However, recent moves toward unification with the elementary district could possibly give the school resources needed to ameliorate this problem.
