This is the worst elementary school I have ever witnessed and have been in. I feel awful my children had to attend here at all. The staff do not care about the kids. They allow their assistant principal and front desk staff to yell at the children over loud speakers in the lunchroom where it echos awfully loud. I have also witnessed the assistant principal singling a child out demanding they stand up only to embarrass that poor child in front of the whole lunch class. Awfully traumatizing coming from someone who is supposed to make children feel safe and cared about. The school refused to open a bullying case for my son who got smacked on his back where an intense red handprint mark was left on his back only because he didn't use the word bullying to describe the incident. I would never recommend this school and I strongly feel this is not an acceptable environment for children.

Ironically this school has the 2nd highest standardized test scores in Henderson but you would never know it from this site. Most people do not know realize this, even people that should know better like real estate agents don't realize that Foothills has the second highest standarized test scores in the city. You can find them independently by searching online if you try. There is a similar website that does list test scores, but I probably am not allowed to mention it here. If you are a person like me that prefers more objective data please look for the test scores for each school. The information you get from here is subjective. The only people bothering to post are either extremely positive or extremely negative.

This school just pushes kids through. Administration gets away with a lot, they choose how to discipline based on race. Safety is an issue and teachers are there for a check. Don’t send even if they relabel it a magnet school. Any other middle school is better than this.
