The best part of Foothills Christian High School is the community. Teachers really care about students. For those who are looking to attend college, the resources aren't as strong as other schools. I wouldn't change anything about my experience at Foothills Christian High School.

This was an amazing school and I wish I had graduated from here instead of my grad school. The kids are so sweet, and the teachers are too. How very, it is a small school so everyone knows everything

It is a small but safe campus, there is a security guard on sight daily. The school has some of the best lunches such as chick-fil-a and panda express. It is a Christian school with a positive atmosphere. If you drive there are limited parking spots and not always enough for everyone. We do not have any type of fields on campus, but are sports divisions are fair. Extra curricular programs such as a mechanic class would be a nice a edition to the school.

The first bad review from a student is farther from the truth . This school fully prepared my kids for college and really grounded then with integrity and responsibility. They are also very strong in their faith and love for God because of the bibilical teaching their. As a parent I would highly rec...
