We have two children in Foothill Oaks Academy. They love the school! They wake up and want to go to school ( No dragging them out of bed anymore). Our goal was for the children to get excited about learning at a young age and instill good study habits for the future of their education. This school has delivered. Great Teachers, small class sizes and a nuturing environment. Plus the tution is very reasonable. We highly recommend Foothill Oaks Academy

My child is now in his second year at Foothill Oaks Academy, and doesn't want to even consider going anywhere else! We have had a very positive experience at this school. The small class size works very well for my son, and he gets plenty of individual attention from the excellent teachers. I greatly enjoy interacting with all teachers and parents -- everyone is friendly, pleasant, and extremely helpful. From the principal to the teachers, all gave freely of their time and attention to ensure that my son's education was of the highest quality. I highly recommend Foothill Oaks Academy!

We are very pleased with the academics at Foothill Oaks Academy. Our daughter is excelling in all subjects. It was nice to see 6th grade win a math competition amongst 35 schools. That speaks volumes to the dedication and quality of the teachers, staff and students. Foothill Oaks Academy has a great selection of enrichment programs that has greatly contributed to the growth and development of our daughter. I would highly recommend this school to anyone who wants the best for their child.

My husband and I are so thrilled with our school. Everyone has bent over backwards to make sure our children are being nurtured, challenged, and learning every day. This school offers such a wide variety of extras that most schools have cut from their budget. The staff and and administration as always available to talk and take care of the smallest detail. We couldn't be happier! Plus, just seeing the smiles on all the children's faces is all we need to see!

We are very pleased with the middle school experience our child is having at Foothill Oaks Academy. The enthusiastic manner in which the teachers approach the curriculum has made the learning process exciting and engaging for our student. We are pleased to see that the faculty takes an active interest in our student's success. We daily hear the positive "things that happened at school today"! We feel like the faculty, and staff at large, are committed to the success of students in all areas, as well as working to create a strong sense of community among the families. We would confidently recommend Foothill Oaks Academy to families looking for an outstanding educational experience in the San Gabriel Valley.

I have been very pleased here at Foothills Oaks Academy. My child is in the 3yr old preschool class. She is made to feel very welcomed by all and is challenged every day in new ways. They take teaching beyond the classroom and make learning fun, interesting, and exciting. The parent/teacher communication is great and open as well as the staff/parent communication. Faculty and staff involve their own families in activities which gives me a sense of true dedication and belief in the school.

There is no other school we would have chosen. Our family is very pleased with Foothill Oaks Academy and the excellent education our child is receiving. The teachers seem very dedicated to their students and challenge them to apply themselves and strive for their best. The administration has been supportive and communicates regularly with us. We are pleased that the school offers music, drama, computers, art, foreign languages and more, in addition to rigorous academics. It is obvious to us that a lot of talented people are working hard to ensure our middle school experience is all that we had hoped.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.

Oops! We currently do not have any student information for this school. We rely on the state Department of Education, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and in some cases school administrators such as registrars and principals for this data.
