School Choice
With the passage of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001, schools that do not make “Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)” on the STAR test for two consecutive years are identified as “Program Improvement (PI)” schools by the California Department of Education. The district is required to provide parents with several options to assist their child academically. One of these options is called School Choice. School Choice allows parents to request a transfer from a PI school to a District-identified non-PI school if space is available. Upland Unified School District offers two application timeline windows for requests to transfer.

The Open Enrollment Act provides students enrolled in one of the 1,000 schools identified by the California Department of Education as “low achieving” the option to enroll in a different school with a higher Academic Performance Index (API) for the following school year if space is available.
