A middle school that serves the foothills area in Arcadia. The two elementary schools, Hugo Reid…read moreElementary and Highland Oaks Elementary) feed the school's population. The school colors are green and black; and the mascot is that of a Scottish terrier dog. Foothills Middle School (FMS) is known for its academic excellence and has a very high API score. The teachers here are fantastic at encouraging students to work in a subject, and preparing them for high school. The environment of FMS is somewhat tolerable. The restrooms reek of urine and the lightning is just plain creepy in 'em. However, for a school that has been passed up for renovations because it's located on a fault line, the general cleanliness is good enough. Fun facts: The school newspaper (at the time of this writing) was shut down three to four years ago due to lack of funding. It was a student-run publication and they charged 50 cents for an issue. 7th graders are/were obligated to choose between taking an elective class of Orchestra, Band, or Art/Acting. Consequently, FMS's band is larger than those of the other middle schools due to its conscription-like enrollment of students.

It's a great school that allows students to focus on visual, theatrical, performing arts and…read moregraphic arts

I really love how diverse Monrovia is. We had the option of transferring to Arcadia or Monrovia…read morefrom our daughter's private school and we chose to go with Monrovia for a few reasons: 1. Diversity, diversity, diversity... Did we mention diversity? As an Asian American family, I wanted my daughter to be able to have a great amount of exposure to other cultures and not just ours. From personal experience of growing up with limited cultural exposure, I've often found myself in many awkward situations where I was clueless on what the social norm was... It eventually worked out but I want my daughter to be exposed earlier to a group of people different than what we offer at home so that she can learn. 2. The little town feel. Through my church we donate lunch to our school districts' teachers..... I mean, who does that anymore?! But I'm grateful Monrovia does and we're able to show our gratitude for the teachers. 3. The education offered at Mayflower elementary. We love that they teach programing from kindergarten!! In a world like today... This is so valuable!!

This was not our experience at Mayflower Elementary or Wild Rose. A principal that stands behind bad teachers is NOT doing their job. A principal that doesn't support great teachers, is also, not doing their job. So glad we moved out of state.

The school encourages the students to be eco friendly and make them clean up after themselves. If they keep the campus clean, they get rewarded with a fun event! If a student is bullied or is racially offended, they can report to guidance for help. They also support LGBTQ and accept all races and religions (religious or not). They also respect their neighbors enough to restrict students from the far end of the school on breaks, since it can carry loud sounds. I really like this school a lot and recommend it. :)

These fields if given the maintenance they need would really make them great because there is a lot of space. Nice area though and the bathrooms are kept really clean and staff is around to make sure they stay clean. The only downside is that the parking in limited so you might have to park in the residential area. Another bad thing is you're not allowed to bring your own water, Gatorade, or snacks which pretty much forces you to buy from their snack bar but then again the money does go back to the league.
