If I could put a negative in SAFETY I would. Today 8/14/2025 the 2nd day of school for my son. I had a feeling during enrollment this was not the school for us. Im very intune and read people very quickly. I have a transfer pending to a school closer to us done before I even visited this school. Im in a pool on a waiting list apparently. 2nd day my son attends this school they LOST him. He was put on a bus I NEVER SIGNED FOR HIM TO RIDE. I picked him up his 1st day no problem because on his paper I listed he would be a PICK UP. Apparently if you are a few minutes late they place them on a bus. I was a few minutes late due to all the construction on Boulder and being from out of state just moved here didn't know how much traffic I was going to have to get through. I was about 8 min late at the most 10 mins. That doesn't even matter because my son was already ON A BUS being dropped off in a new STATE down streets we dont even know. He's 4th grade and is autistic and was put on a bus with endless possibilities to be dropped anywhere in 106 degree weather. He would've never known how to get home even if he did magically get dropped at the correct bus stop he's autistic and is completely new to this area and state. The school police was called Henderson police was being called the women in the office had no sensitivity towards what I was going through while I was in the office frantically irritated with my 11 yr old daughter next to me crying because she thought her baby brother was gone. When the called the bus that was assigned to him they told us he was NOT on the bus and 2 stops had already been done. I wanted to loose it literally loose it. I TOLD them call the 2nd bus and tell them to check for him STOP both busses. I was in that office frozen not knowing where to go search for him how soon the cops would appear wondering if he got off the bus at 1st or 2nd stop and was with dangerous strangers ready to take a 9yr old autistic child who is lost. Unbelievable is all I can say for this school but I knew I had a gut feeling this was not the school for us something about a place really speaks to you when you encounter the staff and how they handled the whole situation and how we even got to that situation. It felt unsafe it is unsafe don't trust this institution!!!!! The 1st day my son attended he came to me and immediately told me the teachers yell at you too much. I asked him well did you get in trouble and his response was no but they yell at all the kids.

As a parent of a second year brown student and also someone who attended brown myself, I must say this is the worst school I’ve ever encountered not only as a student, but as a parent dealing with staff. Staff is very unprofessional. My child has come home several times with stories about the staff mistreating them or saying inappropriate things in front of students and when brought to the attention of the assistant principal she wants to bring your child in for a one on one where they can intimidate them. Earlier in the year my child was being bullied by one of their teachers, and when brought to the staff‘s attention, we set up a parent teacher conference where the teacher sat across from my child glaring at them until they were so intimidated they no longer wanted to talk about the situation and burst into tears.

I have had four children graduate from Foothill, have a current ninth grader, and another child in 6th grade at a feeder school. Regardless of their varied interests (from theater to student council to Advanced Placement courses to foreign languages to sports), Foothill has provided challenging and supportive opportunities aligned with my children's skills and future goals. They were taught by talented and invested teachers who have created a community of continued learning. As a parent, I was kept informed of and invited to events to provide support for my children and express my opinions.
