"I'm a current student at Foothills, and I don't plan on returning next year. I just moved to Arizona at the beginning of the school year, and my parents enrolled my brother and me in Foothills because they'd seen the reviews on this site and believed it would be a great school. Most of the teachers are fine, but the administration really needs a lot of help. The principal is more concerned with the dress code then the curriculum, which I think is ridiculous, and the teachers really can't stand up to her. As I said, most of the teachers are fine, but there are two or three who I'd like to see replaced, but they will undoubtedly return next year because the administration doesn't pay close enough attention to the classes at the school. Overall, I would not recommend this school even thought the other reviews make it seem great. I can assure you, from a student perspective, that it is not what it appears."

"Foothills Middle School offers a solid education. The majority of the teachers have 10+ years in the classroom and it shows. Students have to work. There are some behavioral problems, but I think most schools have "some kids" that are disruptive. The school administration does deal with those students. Parents aren't that involved with the school, however, I think this is common during the middle school years and the school does not lack because of a smallish parent organization."

"I currently have two teens at Foothillsl Academy. We're so looking forward to switching schools next year. We simply could not be more disappointed. While there are a handful of good teachers, there are too many who should not be in any classroom anywhere. The principal is more concerned with dress code than with education. Standards for academics and behavior are very low.."

"My children attended Foothills Academy Elementary Prep for two years. They both have 504's. They are well behaved, intelligent and respectful children.This school was in constant violation of the civil rights law that was created to help level the playing field for children with learning disorders/disabilities. When they left, both were far behind academically to the point where I thought I would have to hold them back a year. Teachers do not partner with parents, they pay little to no regard to the 504's, principle does not follow up, or through. They are a public charter school and are to abid by the law. So please spare me the "they do not belong there." They are now attending another charter school and are both working independently and becoming strong students, and doing the same work as all the students in their grade. They have caught up academically in two months. Their new school believes in the value of making every child successful, by honoring the 504's and teachers partnering parents. It takes a village."
