Foothill High School Reviews
Rating 3.85 out of 5 422 reviews
Foothill high school is in the Pleasanton Unified School district which is well off economically. The school receives large amounts of funding that is used to run over 50 clubs, Tens of various electives ranging from government to aerospace engineering, providing free lunches every day in addition to the variety of tools used for education. For example the multiple 3D printers utilized by STEM classes. A newer computer lab with Mac PC's. Foothill is an enjoyable high school experience. Most teachers here have graduated from good credited schools and are pleasant. The worst part of my time here would most likely be navigating a confusing campus with inconvenient locations.
Foothill High School has an awesome and accommodating learning environment. As a student who struggles with test anxiety, the staff found comforting ways to help me achieve my academic goals. The counselors give great advice and seem to want their students to reach their goals. They do everything in their power to make sure that their students are college ready. The social environment is great and welcoming, and not clique-y. The teachers work very hard, and are always willing to provide extra help when needed.
Great school with immense opportunities. They care about the well-being of their students. You'll make lifetime connections. Proud to be an alum from here go falcons!
