Foothill Knolls Academy of Innovation

Foothill Knolls Academy of Innovation sits in Upland, a city that blends Inland Empire practicality with a genuine small-town feel — think tree-lined streets, views of the San Gabriel Mountains, and a community that takes pride in its schools. As a K-8 academy with an innovation focus, it's a solid choice for families looking for a single school to carry their kids all the way through middle school, particularly those who value continuity and a more project-oriented approach to learning. English and science scores trend above the state midpoint, making it worth a close look for families who prioritize strong humanities and STEM foundations in the same building.
