This is a delightful school.The reason I say that is because I use to go here and the teachers were…read morereally nice, P.E was tough, sometimes we have to run about 8 laps, but our 5th grade kickball tournament was amazing, our team won, you get to either pick a Oak Mesa track and field shirt or any hat they have. P.E was really fun but also tough. I loved my 4th and 5th grade teachers Ms.Moore and Ms.Layhee both were very nice, we got to do exciting projects it was really fun. 4th grade gold rush field trip was amazing! We did lots of fun things. What I really like about this school is that the students are very knowledgeable and have empathy, in my own opinion I think that kids here does thorough education and that they are able to understand what the teacher is saying. The kids would include you in anything, very helpful. So if your looking at the reviews, don't be shy and make some friends because you would not regret it! You would have so much fun, sadly...I had to leave this school for middle school.

We have noted this in her performance as it is rated as outstanding by her teacher. The part that gets me about this school is it's elitist attitude toward parents who do not live in district. It is an unwelcoming environment for my daughter as she has complained a lot about the children, parents and administrators. I was troubled to see that they persecute children who are sick too through the tardy/absence process. I was literally told to bring my child in if she is still having a asthma attack by an administrator. If you thought this school was a good school, it is not. It is full of pretentious people, who are not even capable of appropriately stimulating gifted children. I plan to pull my child out of this school by the end of the year.

However... PARENTS BEWARE!! If your child is a victim of bullying and harassment on this campus, this school will lack follow through when it comes to implementing serious consequences to abusers. Be prepared to take your own legal action in order to protect your child. Bullies are given a slap on the hand and the victims are offered mental health support services. To add more insult to injury, if your child shares a class with their well known abuser, they will not switch the bully to a different classroom instead, they will expect the victim to change classes. Parents beware.

The only issue is the pick-up and drop-off situation--it's a complete nightmare and has apparently been a problem for years.

Not to mention parents starting work before 9am and we don't live close enough for my son to walk. Adding more buses would help a ton!

Allen Ave Elementary plays favoritism towards their white population…read more Fifth grade teacher Marissa Messina is an inexperienced teacher handling fifth Grade students despite not being qualified in my opinion and experience with her! She belongs in a kindergarten or first grade classroom, in the beginning of her teaching career! Teacher Messina doesn't offer students realistic study habits nor supports students transition to middle school. Minority students be careful of bias treatment! Females will get more attention and better treatment. White students will get several warnings and inappropriate behaviors are permitted under her care, as disclosed by students themselves. Teacher Messina allows students to just leave the classroom when school is over and disregards students safety or parents request based on enrollment consents. She has a history of meeting up with families after hours and going to her favorite students games/other and creating a bias environment. This was my child's & families experience at Allen Ave! This touched my heart because this type of treatment can be damaging to students with a poor support system! This type of treatment is unethical. Be CAREFUL parents! I write this to being awareness to parents & students of color in a school system that allows racial inequality and discourages diversity!

Worst of all was that (then) principal Horsley, let a teacher by the name of Mrs. Perry-Orrin " harshly punish my little first grader. To this day (10 years later) my child is still scarred from her extremely insensitive and harsh manner of teaching ... he still speaks/remembers her and not in a kind manner. Of course as many parents, we always say our kids are great. But my student has excelled and has been on the honor roll for several years, Im saddened to know my child had to deal with this type of teacher. It breaks my heart that I didn't take a stand back then. I wonder if I can go back and sue her, the principal, and Bonita unified... please parents don't let any teacher belittle your child, especially your most vulnerable 1st graders.

We've been part of Foothill Country Day School for 10 years, starting from preschool, and now our…read moreson is entering 8th grade. What stands out to us is that this school truly focuses on the whole child. Yes, the academics are good, but more importantly, our son has learned how to think independently, treat others with kindness, and carry himself with confidence and respect. Over the years, we've watched him grow into a confident, kind, and grounded young person - something we value even more than academic success. As parents, we've also grown alongside our child. The school supports families with open communication and by bringing in experts to talk about real-life topics like mental health, screen time and gaming, and what the future might look like for our kids - all of which have been incredibly helpful for us as parents. After 10 years here, this has been more than just a school experience - it's shaped our family in the best way.

In June, my time at Foothill Country Day School will officially come to an end, and so writing my…read morereview now seems fitting. I have been a student at FCDS since their preschool program, "The Seedling School", all the way up until this year, my 8th grade year. That's about 10 years of being at the same school, and honestly, I would be lying if I said that I was excited about leaving, or looking forward to high school. That is the effect that Foothill can have on your child. Throughout my years here, I have walked onto campus each day greeted by compassionate and dedicated teachers and faculty, and smiling faces from my peers. Welcoming does not even begin to explain the environment that this school offers. Part of Foothill's mission statement is that it is a "safe, nurturing, and inclusive community", and I strongly believe that it is all of that and more. The students here are empathetic, supportive, engaged, and accepting. That is not to say that everyone is perfect, or that conflict between peers does not occur. Part of growing up is making poor choices, but more importantly learning from them. From a very young age, I was taught problem-solving skills and how to be empathetic when approaching challenges, and you can see that maturity shine through in our older students. I am a girl who pursues many activities, meaning I know many people outside FCDS. I can confidently say that I almost never meet students my age that are quite as mature, or that will look you in the eye and shake your hand when they meet you. My sister has also said this many times, like when meeting my friends or hearing them speak in front of others, you can notice a clear difference between Foothill students and other children our age. There are so many things that I could choose to write about, but one thing that I would love prospective families to know about is our Community Talk program. Every morning, we have something called Community. At Community, we do announcements and those kinds of things. Sometimes even student performances. However, the main focus of our meetings is hearing each student give a Community Talk. This is where students, 4th-8th grade, give a speech in front of the rest of the grades in their Community group based on a certain topic. For example, in the 6th-8th grade Community meetings, a child from one of those grades gets up in front of everyone to give a speech on a topic. One week the theme might be "Being Your Best Self Advocate" or "Qualities of a Great Leader." While it may seem scary to have to do, it forces students to get out of their comfort zone, and teaches them crucial public speaking skills. Community Talks are such an important and unique asset to Foothill, and they really do help to create leaders. I also just really want to let any prospective families know that we have some of the most incredible teachers and educators. In my 9 years here, I have left each June for summer break being sad to leave a teacher, and then suddenly another incredible one is waiting for me in September. They are all so dedicated and hardworking, and their commitment is unmatched. The way they show up for us students is truly inspiring, and they are always there to talk or help us through our ups and downs. I see many of them more as mentors than teachers, to be honest, because they are always there to give advice and sometimes just to listen. I feel so seen and heard at this school, and I can only hope that high school can offer me something close. If you are looking for a school that can offer your child a great education, teachers and students who care, a variety of athletics and clubs, a solid theatre program (I could write essays about this), a beautiful campus, and overall, a life-changing experience that will set them up for high school and beyond, you have come to the right place. Yes, the academics are challenging, and can honestly sometimes be overwhelming in the upper school. However, the rigor just adds to the personal growth your child will have, and I can truthfully say that I am grateful for the long nights. I feel so prepared to pursue whatever it is that I want after Foothill, because of all my years here. I am walking away with so many memories and experiences that I know I wouldn't be able to find anywhere else. FCDS really is one of a kind.
