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.

What an amazing charter school!…read more My niece came in for a dance audition, along with a bunch of other very talented kids! Upon arrival, we were greeted by the principal Mr Wallace, who had a warm, friendly, and inviting presence. The walls were decorated with student artwork. The general feeling was so inviting. We were welcomed and signed in. Given a short informational talk, while the children stretched and warmed up.. Then off they went. We walked around the school grounds during the audition times and were so pleasantly pleased. Clean lines, playful color palettes, welcoming open space. Career center. Staff was friendly. I want to be in school again!! This school could easily be summed up as FAME. A school that focuses on the ARTS. Dance, art, drama, acting, music, singing. All the things being lost in public schools, that we cake so much! We are so impressed! My niece loves it here and we have our fingers crossed her audition went well enough to grant her admission! Hooray for the ARTS!

I have had two sons attend Arroyo Pacific Academy (APA). Because of its size, it seemed as if…read morethere was a one-to-one ratio between student and staff. One son had some learning issues; but his teachers took the time and effort to make him feel welcomed and respected. My other son had just finished his freshman year at a larger school in LA; but wasn't too enamored with the commute, so he wanted a school closer to home. He wound up transferring to APA where he, too, was welcomed and nurtured by a caring, compassionate, and very competent staff. One might think that because APA is so small, it might not attract great teachers. I can attest that isn't the case at all! As a sophomore, my son just got "5's" on his AP Biology and AP Psychology exams! The staff, teachers, administration are all top notch. If you have a son or daughter that may have learning issues or would just enjoy a smaller school setting where teaching is truly focused on the student, I would highly recommend you try out Arroyo Pacific Academy.

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.
