Foothill High School Reviews
Rating 3.85 out of 5 432 reviews
I think foothill is a very good school, but there is some down sides. There is a lot of things I feel the school tries to cover up to protect its reputation and the school culture around academics and social status is toxic. But the education and teachers are very good and it’s a very safe campus. The lunch food is amazing and I think overall it’s a good school with some cultural things that need amends.
The STEM programs are awesome, giving me hands-on experience and preparing me for the further. The bathrooms are really bad and a lot of times they're closed a lot of the time. Teachers are nice and pretty helpful and the campus is decent.
Very diverse campus. Lots of ROP (regional occupation program), PLYW (project lead the way), and AP classes to choose from. Teachers prepare you well for the AP exam. Breakfast and Lunch are free and lots of options to choose from. New engineering building built recently.
