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.

I was a troubled kid , foothill high school helped change my behavior and focus more on my school work. Foothill gives students many opportunities for growth and the staff is phenomenal in every way. What I would like to see change is the colors of the uniform , but that's what makes the school great .
