GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Foothill Technology High School has been a great experience so far. The school is located on a small campus right across from the Ventura College. The people here are all mostly friendly and respectful. FTHS is an academically rigorous school and always ranks among the top schools in California.

I liked FTHS a lot. most of the teachers i had were very supportive and amazing teachers. Joining ASB (associated student body/leadership) was great and helped me get involved in school and learn helpful skills

I think that Foothill is the right path if you want to be a part of one of the pathways that the school has to offer. I was a part of the Bioscience Academy there and it caused me to pursue a career in medicine. It's not the best with sports, and it doesn't have it's own music program, so if those are some of the more important things for you it might not be the best fit.

My daughter used to be at the top of the class at Cabrillo middle school, but the teachers here neglect to pay attention to every student, and she is lagging behind because of this! I have to take extra time to help her after school, which should be the teachers job.
