Foster Middle School

I think this school is the best school in longview

Wonderful school with very attentive leadership. Personal responsibility is taught and God comes first.

It was a challenge to get real help in public schools. We decided to invest money into LCS. Our oldest is doing so much better in a small classroom and learning about her faith in God. Our youngest felt a lot of pressure at a prep school so we decided to invest in LCS. She had some adjustments but we feel that she learns more with a book at LCS than just worksheets at the prep school. We weren't worried about the STAAR test but my oldest could not pass the STAAR and my youngest mastered it twice. LCS doesn't put emphasis on testing. They help the kids work as a group and learn life skills. They also get plenty of fresh air during the day. My youngest is running track at LCS. My oldest had back surgery so she is participating in PE for now. LCS offers dual credit courses with LeTourneau college. I am really happy with high school service work. My daughter joined AMBUCS. She learns about working hard and taking care of the community. We had a Mud Run that we just started last year. We raise money for the school and ask corporations for their financial help. We have athletics at LCS and the gym looks great. Most of the sports tournaments have now shifted to the Dallas area. The kids save money for their senior trip. They sell candy and soda for fundraisers. I'm proud of these kids learning about themselves and helping others. The classrooms are usually 10-20 kids. They have a uniform code. I hope we get to debate the uniform code because of supply chain problems.
