Foothills Elementary School is located in Glendale, Arizona, and is a part of the Peoria Unified School District. Serving students in Pre-Kindergarten through eighth grades, Foothills Elementary School has an enrolled population of about 600 students.
The school’s mission is to help form “a responsible citizen who actively contributes to society, the community and the workforce.” The school mascot is the Falcon.
According to U.S. News, Foothills Elementary School is ranked 703 in Arizona elementary schools. About 40% of students scored at or above proficiency in math, and 40% scored at or above proficiency in reading.
About 15 years ago, Foothills Elementary School partnered with Peoria Unified Arts Education Department to create the Foothills Fine Arts Academy. This program is offered to students in fifth through eighth grades. Each student can select and perfect their skills in a certain type of art. The teachers leading these classes are trained and certified art educators.
Foothills wants all its students to feel part of a community. To accomplish that, the school created the House Program. Upon joining the school, students spin a wheel with five different houses on it, Kha’m Pha’, Indarra, Zanna, Reveur and Malamalama. Students from all grades come together with the rest of their housemates to perform different events and challenges promoting and recognizing the house characteristics of persistence, exploration, creation, dreaming, and optimism.

The people at Foothills understand you better than most and having the opportunity to dance, draw, or act is great.
