Foothill Knolls Academy Of Innovation

This school is a part of Upland Unified School District

Upland Unified School District is a 'Mixed/Transition' organization characterized by exceptional graduation outcomes and high-performing flagship schools (Upland High, Valencia Elementary) contrasted against severe underperformance in several junior high and elementary feeders. The district is aggressively addressing these disparities through its 'Vision 2030' strategic plan, which includes innovative middle-college models and program consolidations. While financial management is stable and English Language Arts performance is strong, the district faces persistent challenges in mathematics proficiency, chronic absenteeism, and campus culture divides. Its status as a top-tier athletic district and its success in narrowing minority achievement gaps provide a solid foundation, but the significant internal quality gap between its highest and lowest-rated schools prevents a higher stability rating.
