The school is honestly terrible, and in the last couple of years the expectations have become…read morecompletely unrealistic. You're required to ask just to use the bathroom, which feels unnecessary since it should be basic. You only get 5 minutes per pass and 3 passes a day, which is extremely limiting. Even being late a couple of times in a whole semester can get you detention, which feels over the top. A lot of the staff come off as disrespectful, and the overall environment feels negative and strict rather than supportive. The social atmosphere isn't great either, with a lot of students being judgmental and insincere, which makes it hard to feel comfortable. Overall, it feels like the school is more focused on enforcing rules, grades, and achievements than actually supporting students or creating a healthy learning environment. If someone has the option, going somewhere else would probably be a better experience.

The school is focused on the education of their students while building a foundation of solid morals and love for humanity. Having been through the public school system here, it was an easy decision to choose this school for my children. No racism, no drugs, no woke agendas. All stuff I had to deal with growing up in public schools. The kids are confident in their faith and represent the ideals and purity of Islam as Muslims. Absolutely blessed to have this school in our community. Continues to get better every year.

Hard to believe this is the first review of this fine school. I've been living up in Prather for…read moreover 30 years and have had plenty of great experiences with "Foothill". Our kids have all grown up here and turned out great thanks to the teachers and staff who have always shown a high degree of professionalism and a unique ability to connect with and teach our kids. The staff treats the children and parents like family and their hands on style of teaching gets great results and seems to get through to the kids in a way that cannot be achieved in the overcrowded classrooms of the city. Clovis may be a way of life, but Foothill is a way of success. Crazy Bernie could live anywhere in the world, but I choose Prather, and feel very good about the Sierra school district teaching my Son, Granddaughters and soon to be born Grandson.

We are finishing up the Kindergarten year and Mrs. Larman has been an absolutely AMAZING teacher! The principal, Dr. Harris is very involved, hands on and genuinely loves these teachers, staff, students, and school. The sense of community and the enthusiasm to learn that they instill in these children to SOAR like eagles is off the charts! As a family we are looking forward to our child going through all the grade levels here and are excited about the education being received! We joke about how it feels like a private education! If you are new to the area, I would encourage you to call the school and schedule a tour. You won't be disappointed!

As I'm writing this, I'm about to start my second semester at CCC. So far, I've had a great…read moreexperience. The school has a sleek and modern design, considering it opened less than twenty years ago. It doesn't get crowded, and the campus is disturbingly always quiet. The students and professors are friendly and welcome you with open arms. I recommend this school to introverted students who need a smooth transition to secondary education without the stress of an overwhelming university.

I'm in my second semester here, and the counseling center has been incredibly frustrating to deal…read morewith. Earlier this semester, they failed to add me to a class that I had already been accepted into, which put me in the position of having to scramble for a late-start class. When I went to the counseling office to fix the issue, we walked in at 3:02 PM. The woman at the front desk immediately looked at us and said, "We close at 3." I asked if she could just take my paperwork and help with one quick thing, and she repeated--clearly irritated--"We close at 3." No effort to help. No attempt to point me in the right direction. Just shut down. For a place that's supposed to support students, the counseling center has been anything but helpful in my experience. If you need assistance here, make sure you go well before closing time--because apparently two minutes past 3 means you're completely out of luck.

Many of the teachers scream and yell at the children in class and completely overreact to the littlest thing. I can't understand why these teachers don't go find another job if they don't like what they do. Oh wait, it's probably because they have Zero accountability at this school. I hate that this is the school my nephews attend. It's much different than when I attended Lincoln years ago. Granted there probably are some great teachers there too, but the bad ones will ruin the reputation of the entire school. Maybe the good teachers should report all the screaming and yelling that comes from the other teachers classrooms to the principal so she can send them to training or something. My nephews love the custodian Freddy. However, the bathrooms at the school are a disgrace so Freddy could probably use some more help in that department. They also love coach Perez.

All the staff members we interacted with were super nice. And they all knew our grandson. Hmmmm, lol.
