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 always had a great experience at my school. Even during COVID, my school tried to keep students, parents, and administration engaged. My school strives to achieve success in everything they do and expects the best from all of us. I am very satisfied with my high school experience and wouldn't trade it for anything else if the opportunity came.

I liked this school, the staff and faculty were very strong; and were dedicated towards giving out a strong education to their students. They were understanding of the student's financial situations, and were willing to give some leverage to those in need. I am thankful for the staff's kindness throughout the 4 years of me going there.

I am a parent of three current Foothill high school students. My family and I are "Hispanic" and although we make up less that 5% of the population of the city and the school, we have been welcomed by our neighbors, the community and so have my children at their school. I would recomend this school...
