Wonderful school, we can't praise it more highly. The excellence starts with the school leadership, flows through the teachers and results in an exceptional experience for kids. Safety is definitely a top priority, I also feel that my child is challenged intellectually and has great classmates to en
Posted by a parent on 12/16/2025Love this school. Daughter is excited to go everyday! Love the leadership. Mrs. Schneider is very active and the one that sold us on the school. Wrote a letter to every new student before the year. Responds to my emails in minutes! Great things coming! 5 stars
Posted by a parent on 12/4/2025We were honestly unsure about this school when we enrolled our kindergartner—new school district, first child, all the usual parent nerves. We ultimately decided to trust our friends & neighbors who had a great experience the year before, and we’re so glad we did.What truly sets this school apart is
Posted by a parent on 12/4/2025The biggest reason Foothills has been an exceptional experience for our family is the people. We love the staff and the teachers especially, but definitely also the other parents and the community there. I have a preschooler and a kindergartner and their teachers have hearts of gold. I could use all
Posted by a community member on 12/4/2025We have been at our neighborhood school since kindergarten and are now in 3rd grade.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is friendly and safe, but there are some teachers who don't grade anything or provide any feedback to parents. One of the teachers was saying how great the school is because it gives her so much "flexibility and work/life balance." But this teacher never returned a single graded paper. Another thing I am not crazy about is how the school is always fundraising and asking parents for money. But then they turn around and hire another (presumably expensive) assistant principal who seems to have too much time on their hands. I would still recommend the school if you happen to live nearby.Parent Review10mo ago - Kyffin Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWelchester staff have been phenomenal working with my step-kids as they transition to living in a new state and going to a new school mid-semester. We have some behavioral issues with our 8 year old and I can’t say enough about how well the staff/school environment has helped her improve. It’s one thing for a school to be able to support self-sufficient families with a lot of resources, but Welchester goes above and beyond when things in life at home aren’t optimal, their encouragement and support really helps our kids (and my husband and I) thrive during tough transition. We are grateful to have a reliable partner in Welchester for the optimal growth of our children.Parent Review9mo ago - Augustine Classical Academy
