Foothill Middle

Foothill Middle sits in the quieter, more residential corner of Walnut Creek, a city that strikes a nice balance between suburban comfort and easy access to the Bay Area's job centers. As part of Mt. Diablo Unified, Foothill punches well above the district average, landing in the top 15% of middle schools statewide with consistently strong scores across English, math, and science. Families who are serious about setting their kids up for a competitive high school track — and who want that without the intensity of some of the deeper East Bay academic bubbles — tend to find Foothill a really solid fit.
