Estrella Foothills High School

Unfortunately, in the last few years this school went downhill. Spanish is no longer taught due to not having a teacher, Math and English is beight taught in 8th grade by a former PE teacher with no teaching degree. Way to go to prepare kids for High School. I would not recommend this school.

This school is deeply deeply flawed. They use very punitive methods that create a negative atmosphere for the children. They receive referrals for anything that they do. There is no positive reinforcement. The administration have zero understanding of child development or the social emotional needs of children. They allow bullying and violence without sufficient consequences. Parents have to fight to protect their children here. The school board for the district allows people to serve on the board who lie about their background. They fire teachers and staff at will and do so without regard for how that impacts the safety of the children. There is very little supervision for children at recess/lunch where the majority of incidents occur. Staff is overworked and overburdened with responsibilities because of all of the recent terminations. This place is an absolute MESS!!! Many of us parents are choosing to homeschool until they fix the issues our students experienced and improve safety. Oh and they denied my child bathroom privileges!!
