Upper Lake Elementary

Upper Lake is a small, rural community tucked into the hills of Lake County, where agriculture and the outdoors define the pace of life — and Upper Lake Elementary reflects that tight-knit character. The school serves a modest student population in a region that faces real economic challenges, and while test scores are below state averages across the board, families who are rooted in this community tend to value the close relationships between teachers and students that smaller rural schools can offer. For families considering the area, it's worth knowing that academic enrichment may require supplementing what the school provides, particularly in English and math.
