However... PARENTS BEWARE!! If your child is a victim of bullying and harassment on this campus, this school will lack follow through when it comes to implementing serious consequences to abusers. Be prepared to take your own legal action in order to protect your child. Bullies are given a slap on the hand and the victims are offered mental health support services. To add more insult to injury, if your child shares a class with their well known abuser, they will not switch the bully to a different classroom instead, they will expect the victim to change classes. Parents beware.

The only issue is the pick-up and drop-off situation--it's a complete nightmare and has apparently been a problem for years. I even requested bus for my child to avoid the chaos, but the school doesn't have enough room. The best solution? Add more buses! Not to mention parents starting work before 9am and we don't live close enough for my son to walk. Adding more buses would help a ton!

I am writing to express my deep disappointment regarding the decision to deny my son admission to…read moreFoothill Christian School's kindergarten program. As you know, my son successfully attended Foothill Christian Preschool, where his Pre-K teacher formally documented that he was fully prepared for kindergarten. During our recent meeting, however, administration (Joy & Mr. G) indicated that he was not ready due to unspecified developmental concerns, and advised us to seek a public school evaluation. Following their recommendation, we immediately had my son evaluated by a licensed Occupational Therapist. The specialist confirmed that his development is entirely within the normal range for his age, noting that public school intervention would not even be applicable. It is disheartening to experience such a significant disconnect between your preschool's curriculum preparation and your elementary school's admissions standards. Given our family's long-standing support of and relationship with the school, we expected a more collaborative, accurate, and supportive approach. While we have decided to pursue his education in an environment better suited to support him, we sincerely hope FCS reviews its evaluation process to prevent other families from enduring a similar experience

How can students become critical thinkers and problem solvers if the right tools are not provided? The teacher's manuals provide lesson by lesson instructions on how to present the curriculum.

Selecting a school for my children was one of the most difficult decisions I've ever made. I am…read moremore than satisfied with my decision to send them to HNM. The school breathes it's faith with service projects like Double Bag Lunch, the Winter Shelter, blanket/shoe drives to name a few. The school offers many extra classes to expand the students horizons and also provide support for those who are falling behind. The extracurricular activities aren't limited to sports. They have many academic and service focused clubs and also have an amazing drama program that puts on musicals twice a year. Father Rich and Mrs Marquez are extremely dedicated and their commitment to the schools mission statement is unwavering. My family was welcomed with open arms from the beginning and have grown to consider the HNM parish and school family as my own. Many families come from 10+ miles away to be a part of this wonderful community. The school could improve in a few areas mainly in incorporating modern day conveniences that help working parents balance their responsibilities (online payments, more consistent communication and fundraising credit for SCRIP overage purchases). The school should also consider doubling up on some of its classes to lower the student:teacher ratio as it begins it's expected renovation/expansion project.

As a parent deeply invested in my child's education and moral development, I am compelled to share…read moremy disappointing experience with Holy Name of Mary. This school fails to uphold the fundamental principles of Catholicism, mistreats students, and prioritizes financial gain over the well-being of children. The school's administration and staff consistently fail to embody the teachings of compassion, empathy, and respect. Instead, they foster an environment of mistreatment and neglect towards students. My interactions with the school have revealed a disturbing pattern of prioritizing money and donations above all else. It is evident that Holy Name of Mary is more concerned with financial gain than providing a nurturing and supportive environment for students to thrive academically and emotionally. The principal, in particular, is a prime example of the school's shortcomings. Not only does the principal fail to lead by example, but also actively contribute to the mistreatment of students. It is disheartening to witness a lack of accountability and a willingness to protect staff members at the expense of the well-being of children. As a parent, it is clear to me that Holy Name of Mary does not genuinely care about the education or welfare of its students. I urge fellow parents to reconsider enrolling their children in this institution, as it fails to fulfill its promise of providing a Catholic education rooted in love and compassion. In conclusion, Holy Name of Mary falls short of its obligation to uphold Catholic values and provide a safe, nurturing environment for students. It is evident that the school's priorities lie elsewhere, and I cannot in good conscience recommend it to other families seeking a truly enriching educational experience for their children. PLEASE BE AWARE ALL PARENTS!!!

My niece attends Royal Oak middle school. This is her first year and it's been nothing but a…read morehorrible experience. They allow bullying at this school. Her dad has talked to the school, principal, counselors and teachers with absolutely no help. They know who the problem kids are and they do nothing about it. Her dad even went to the school district for help. They told him, go back and speak to the school because they know the student. My niece is autistic and was put in a regular class, expected to fend for herself. The year started with bullying, now they torment her and the school and the district sit in their offices with their arms crossed and do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Special needs children are covered under the disability act. They have the right to attend school like the other kids. I guess the only way to solve this is to take legal action and get the media involved. Maybe then they will go into damage control!

We have noted this in her performance as it is rated as outstanding by her teacher. The part that gets me about this school is it's elitist attitude toward parents who do not live in district. It is an unwelcoming environment for my daughter as she has complained a lot about the children, parents and administrators. I was troubled to see that they persecute children who are sick too through the tardy/absence process. I was literally told to bring my child in if she is still having a asthma attack by an administrator. If you thought this school was a good school, it is not. It is full of pretentious people, who are not even capable of appropriately stimulating gifted children. I plan to pull my child out of this school by the end of the year.

Our oldest is now going into first grade, and we honestly feel that Foothill prepared him so well for kindergarten.

Our youngest is still attending Foothill and continues to have such a positive experience. The teachers are incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely invested in teaching the kids skills that will help them not only now, but throughout their future school years. The classrooms are decorated to the nines, and there is so much thought and care put into creating a fun, welcoming environment for the children. A special shout-out to Mrs. Yvette and Ms. Roxana, along with all of the other wonderful teachers and staff who make Foothill such a special place.
