Foothill Christian School

My daughter started the 6th grade a few weeks ago and we are extremely happy with this school. The teachers along with the principle are awesome. Just spend some time there and you will agree. See it for yourself. We came from BUSD and we are happy with the move.

The school has rapidly declined in the last three years. I am very DISAPPOINTED in the lack of education my children have received.

Our children are receiving an excellent education at Foothill. The academic dimensions are awesome, no doubt about it. But more importantly, they have had wonderful opportunities to grow in their faith and serve God by serving others. It's wonderful to see how my kids are experiencing and living lives of signficance.

This school is making a huge difference in the life of my daughter. She loves her teachers and they absolutely love her. The academics are excellent, but it's also all of the other dimensions of life and learning that are helping her blossom. She's getting a fantastic education with Christian purpose.

FCS is an amazing school with a world class faculty. All you need to do is visit the campus and spend some time with the teachers and you will see how dedicated they to your children's academic and spiritual success. Amazing place!

The teachers do have credentials. They do have Bachelor's degrees and some have Masters degrees. They may not all be California Credentials therefore they are not on the California Public School Website. Credentials from other states are often more difficult to acquire.

Foothill Christian is an incredible school. My older children attended years ago and now my younger ones attend. We have been blessed with some amazing teachers who have touched our lives in many ways. We have made some great friends that share values that are very important to us. Academically my children excel. FCS has touched many aspects of our lives! We couldn't ask for more. We love FCS!!!

Private school teachers are not required to have credentials. It is a choice of the school if they would like them to have one or not. As long as they their degree.

A quick review of the Board of Education website reveals that 5 of the teachers do not have their teaching credentials. Sad to say that our child s teacher is one of them. We were appalled to find out that our child was only receiving two days of math lessons on a regular basis because we didn t have time was the excuse given by the teacher. It s sad to see that individuals are posting supposed facts without doing the proper research. Also, the administrator asks that teachers of students that attend the school as well as other teachers post excellent reviews on this website. In agreement with other posts, negative aspects of the school are quickly covered up and kept from the parents. It's never a good thing when an administrator asks teachers to lie to keep school ratings up.

The school is credentialed, the teachers are not. Most do not have their teaching credential. Staff keeps changing, the morale seems low. This is our last year....I am very disappointed in the many poor administrative decisions.
