Fantastic staff getting the student ready for College! Do not worry if you're a Student/Athlete and no sports at the Foothill, it works out just fine with the bus service that takes you to your "sports" school.
This school is full of great teachers that want the best for their students. All the classes are very intense and they help students get the most out of high school. We are #1 in Ventura County, Top 20 in California and nominated to be a National Blue Ribbon School.
I love Foothill so, so much. It really is the best school in Ventura County. I know that I would be happy at my home school of VHS, and I almost went there, but I know that Foothill is the best school for me! Foothill is exceptional in every way. The teachers are outstanding, the students there are (mostly, of course) awesome and so easy to make friends with, and extracurricular activities are amazing. However, if you really don't care about school and how you do there, you need to go to your home school and let somebody else have a shot, because there's a reason that we are in the top 1% in the country!!!! If you want to excel, go to FTHS.
The education here is truly superb, we are #1 school in our county, and in the top 20 in the state! Funding for this school would be superb. :]
The teachers are incredibly Friendly and very helpful. It is easy to make friends and they have a slushie machine!
It has a great academic program, and all the students there are just so friendly and outgoing, and it is a very safe school to be at. On top of all of that, it is the #1 high school in Ventura County. Talk about a great school!
I love FTHS because they have great teachers who really care about how you do and want you to succeed. The BioScience Academy is great, and no other school in VUSD has a program this great! Plus, we are #1 in Ventura County! This is a great school and I am so glad I chose to go to this school.
My son really enjoys this school and finds it to be very helpfull. The teachers there he says are all very supportive and have every intention to help. One time a teahcer even skipped their lunch to help him. He also finds it conviennent how the school itslef works with the other schools to helo transport him and other students to the other schools for sports. Foothill does not have any christian school relavance like one of the remarks posted before.
Best High School for families seeking an education in Ventura County! The focus on learning is supported by the FIRE program and motivated, enthusiastic and well educated teachers. My sons are thriving and experience no bullying (unlike every other public school in the district they have attended). Other students want to learn too which reduces classroom disciplinary distractions to a minimum. Most of the students want to be at FTHS, ie there are only a few students whose parents make them attend. Parent teacher conferences were very helpful and yielded desired results.
Great school, structured in a way that is inviting to both upper and lower classmen. Much encouragement and incentive to one's best. Up to date technology in computers and programs. My student feels she has the best of both worlds enjoying small school enviornment for academics, but traveling to larger boundary school for sports. She has no problem transitioning between schools.
