GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have either loved, or hated my classes at Foothill High School. I would love to see less favoritism amongst the sports and student council kids and would love to see equal opportunities for all.

I am a recent alum of Foothill. I have never had issues with any teachers or staff. I think they have a variety of programs and electives. I felt like my teachers really cared about my education.

I have had two students graduate from Foothill and they absolutely loved it. It’s actually a about 1/3 smaller than other CCSD schools and class sizes are around 30 so not bad at all. The students and staff are welcoming and friendly. Amazing band and music programs. I would highly recommend
