We are located at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains in the northeast section of the City of Upland, and we have a rich and diverse population that is a mixture of residential homes, apartments, townhomes / condominiums, and commercial buildings. Our student population of 428, which includes grades Transitional Kindergarten through 6th, reflects the changing demographics of our community.

2 About the SARC Every school in California is required by state law to publish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC), by February 1 of each year. The SARC contains information about the condition and performance of each California public school. Under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) all local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to prepare a Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), which describes how they intend to meet annual school-specific goals for all pupils, with specific activities to address state and local priorities. Additionally, data reported in an LCAP is to be consistent with data reported in the SARC. For more information about SARC requirements, see the California Department of Education (CDE) SARC Web page at View this SARC online at the school and/or LEA Web sites. For more information about the LCFF or LCAP, see the CDE LCFF Web page at For additional information about the school, parents and community members should contact the school at (909) Student Enrollment by Grade Level Grade Level Number of Students Kinder. 65 Gr Gr Gr Gr Gr Gr Total Student Enrollment by Group Group Percent of Total Enrollment Black or African American American Indian or Alaska Native Asian Filipino Hispanic or Latino Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander 0.2 White 29.9 Two or More Races 0.7 Socioeconomically Disadvantaged 54.2 English Learners 17.1 Students with Disabilities 7.9 A.
