I’m not super thrilled with this school any longer. There was a time when it felt warm and inviting but as a long time parent, I no longer get that warm fuzzy feeling here. We used to be invited in to read in the classroom, help with bulletin boards, teach junior achievement, volunteer in the library, and there was simply a feeling of community. Now they barely open the office door and when they do it’s not to greet you with a warm smile or a friendly chat while you wait for your child to be called down. They isolate visiting parents on the stage instead of allowing them to visit with the student and classmates. (Perhaps we have become such a litigious society that we can’t dare allow a parent to engage in friendly converasation and get to know their child’s classmates). I feel like there was more respect from the kids when classmates knew one another’s parents. As visiting parents we could help other students open drinks or ice pops or just be an extra set of eyes on the kids and I would think that would make things easier for the teachers being that there is only one teacher for every two classes at lunch. I have also noticed that they no longer give homework to students and it seems there is far less challenging projects for students. Perhaps this is part of the reason for the declining school rank, I don’t know. I understand security concerns have changed in the last 10 years but to me building a strong community where we know one another and can look out for each other and our children it would behoove the schools to build and foster stronger communities. When I was a younger parent, most of my friend group came from relationships made while volunteering at and playing after school on the playground. It’s sad to say I don’t see this anymore at Foster. I put up with it because I have no other choice as I’m not in a position to pay for private school but it’s truly sad to see the decline in community at Foster. I suppose it’s better than some schools but compared to years gone by Foster elementary school isn’t what it used to be.

I am currently an 8th grader at this school during 2023 its fine to be honest, most kids here are egotistical jerks

Great school I loved it here during my four years. It's such a small school and that makes it feel more like a community in contrast to Kingwood High. The classes are rigorous and the students are competitive in terms of class rank. You'll see this in the AP classes especially but this school will prepare you for college if you don't fail.
