Loved my daughters teachers the first few years very cooperative but fifth grade teachers were cruel to her made her cry at least 2 times within each month teased her about her appearance which she was already insecure about she would come home in tears each day and in the mornings never wanted to go overall those 2 teachers created a very toxic and harmful environment I didn't want her in, and only 1 teacher was kind towards our family thank you Trevor black. Also the school did not address the extreme bullies she faced even after she told her teacher, her teacher criticized her acting and learning abilities knowing that my daughter adores acting.

School has gone downhill since the admin change in 2024. The principal before wasn’t great but this current one is horrible. Here are a couple of things that make her and this school so bad:1) My kids are getting hurt on the playground and no one is doing anything. My kids are always saying the yard duties aren’t there or just on their phone.2) There is no actual consequences for students’ actions. I heard a kid was choking other students and he never got suspended. How can I ensure the safety of my children.Major action needs to be taken to bring the school back to what it used to be.

Something I love about Upland is their support of the arts. Their orchestra concerts and school musicals are amazing, the specially contracted visual art program is very educational and has emphasized diversity, and Virginia Tanner Dance from the University of Utah is able to come and provide creative dance instruction for some grades. The other amazing thing about Upland is the Special Education classes. The entire school does an amazing job of integrating and including them, teaching all the students compassion, and the community is better because of it.
