Foster Elementary School

Our daughter had a great experience at this school. It is a good learning environment. We moved from out of state last year and she has adapted well. She has made several friends at this school. Good teachers and staff. Many interesting activities. Would only emphasize a bit more in extendind club's lists and enrollment and perhaps challenging students a bit more academically with homework (which is minumum)

Great school my kids attended school here. I now have a grandson who attends school there.

I’ve had two kids go through GTE, and our kids have thrived here. We have two very different children - one GT and one on the spectrum. Both have been engaged, excelled and loved their teachers and friends. The learning environment is inclusive and uplifting. The teachers are fantastic. When my younger child needed counseling they set her up with the district counselor to come by and see her. We love this school.

Horrible. My daughter comes home crying every day. Because it's a private school, it's harder for my daughter to make friends.

St Martha did not include my child as a 3 yr old. He went to another facility and thrived. He since has been in GT and all honors once at middle school. It concerns me because what was told toMe as a parent/ his ability/ and reason to kick him out of the program after 6 days has never been evident since. As an educator myself, it made it hard to listen in church about how all children deserve a Catholic education when I was trying to give my children that and was shown the door with my oldest. He actually had nothing wrong with him except the inability to sit in a circle for more than about 3-4 minutes. Which is totally developmentally appropriate. Yet I was told me after one day the teacher has red flags. As an educator and dealing with my 1st child I was alarmed and concerned. 4 days later I was met with the counselor about concerns and then I had an in person meeting with teacher, counselor, and myself. I was told that my son was not typical and needed help to participate in 3yr old activities. He would not walk in line and wouldn’t listen to the teacher. I was shocked! But talked with my son and tried to work with him. Then the next week, I was called that my son was having accidents in his underwear and was no longer allowed at St Martha’s- it was Tuesday so he could finish the week but would not be able to go from there. I immediately pulled him - put him back in Humble ISD preschool for employees and never had a problem with restroom or not being able to be developmentally ready for anything. This makes me sad because I always wanted to go to a Catholic school growing up and wanted to teach at one too, but not if the criteria is so inappropriate that they exclude children that are not severe issues unable to cope with. So, so disappointing… and I’m not the only one.
