My daughter graduated from this school and has struggled her first semester in college. I am doing everything I can to make sure my son does not attend this school. The band program is awesome! The administration is not. Overall, we have been very disappointed with this school.

I have two boys that attend Foster in the 10th and 11th grade. I must say that thier high school years have been a challenge for them, but with the help from teachers,counselors, and the administration team, I believe that this will be an overwhelming LEARNING experience academically and emotionally.

I have been teaching at Foster High School for a few years now. Moving from an inner city school district, I find Foster to be very comfortable and exceptional school to work for. The administration is still new but has made major changes over the past year or so. The rigor of most classes is very

I feel that the students and faculty could be a little more involved in extra- curricular activities which would boost student morale. Overall, I give Foster a great rating and would recommend it above and beyond any other school in the area. Read less

I thought this was an excellent school when my daughter attended. College proved me wrong. How in the world can a child get A's in High School math, and then practically flunk math at an out-of-state school because she's supposedly 'mathematically unprepared'? (certainly not partying). Did much better

Though not nearly as severe a situation, there were some struggles with composition as well. Non-core curriculum was not an issue (foreign language, et al). Very well prepared. I still think the extra-curriculars at Foster were outstanding, but that doesn't really mean much at this stage. I just don't know what to think. Read less
