Foothill High School Reviews
Rating 4 out of 5 531 reviews
The school has offered me a great learning experience. The teachers provide an engaging learning experience. I'm currently in AVID which has prepared me to be college & career ready and getting involved in community service. I've been actively involved in football and track which has given me leadership, motivation and commitment to work hard with my teammates and discipline.
I truly believe I am very luck to be a student here. In my time here, I have met some amazingly talented athletes and artists, with some incredible sports programs, and encountered no instances of bullying, or harassment. There have been only a few fights that I had heard about, but everyone is friendly and inclusive to everyone, even though we have a low population of certain minorities. However, as a musician, I am very disappointed in the instrumental music program. We have a truly world-class choir right next door, where our bands and orchestra are barely able to get by. We did recently get an excellent new director however, and in time he should get the program back on its feet.
Foothill offers a diverse selection of AP courses and IB plus a well-rounded athletics program. They provide opportunities for students to get involved in, such as ASB, CSF, clubs, etc. (Don't hesitate to join! You'll meet amazing people). Although some teachers may seem uninterested or unable to bond with students, others give excellent support and understanding. The school's counselors are also a valuable resource, available to help you throughout your high school career. I believe that the desire to attend college and build a network can only come from within. Many students doubt their ability to handle AP work, so I encourage the school to promote it more. Personally, being surrounded by high-achieving peers and exceptional teachers had a significant impact on my academic growth.
There's a mix of students: those forming cliques and others focused on their studies.
However, I must admit that some faculty and staff members made me feel uncomfortable with their stares or glances.
