Wonderful News-
The Michigan Context and Performance report card recently came out and Upton Middle School received an "A". (Top 8% in the state) This is based on several factors including multiple year standardized test scores, student background, etc. I would like to recognize the hard working staff that we have at Upton. We do a lot of this work during our late starts on Wednesdays. It is also the parent support that we receive from you! We appreciate it! Here is a link to this report:
