Oak Knoll Alternative School

Foothill is truly an amazing school! The staff genuinely love what they do and it shows in how they care for each child. They go out of their way to make learning fun, engaging, and meaningful. There’s also so much support for families from school administrators like Mr. G and Mrs. Wilson. Parenting can be challenging, and Foothill really comes alongside parents with encouragement and practical tools that make a difference. Foothill doesn't just care about the student, they care for the whole family. One of my children went from kindergarten all the way through 8th grade, and when he entered high school, he had tested out of the freshman math class! Even the high school counselor commented that students from Foothill are a notch above their peers. I’ve had children in both public school and at Foothill, and I can honestly say Foothill is far superior in every way. The difference in the level of care, academics, and community is incredible. Foothill isn’t just a school...Foothill feels like family. We’re so thankful to be part of it!

We were big supporters of this school until recent changes in leadership. We have spent many years on this campus as our older children thrived here. As much as we wanted the same for our younger children, it seems they have hired a principal who frankly doesn't seem to care about the parent's concerns or the overall future of the school. Any concern that a parent bring to her are swept under the rug. If you have concerns including bullying -don't say anything. She will not adress it and then worse, avoid the parents. Parents have brought concerns to the priest but the principal will hide behind her words saying she's "never heard this before". The principal seems to think parents don't communicate but we all know -she's not the right fit for this school. We are highly disappointed. Most of the teachers are wonderful. Junior high math is not. Again, the principal is aware - does nothing.

Arrow Montessori School of San Dimas is a great school that provides a loving, enriching, safe environment for children. All three of my children have thrived attending the school!!!
