Staff is committed and caring. I love that this school is a part of our community. The international baccalaureate program offers many opportunities.
Posted by a community member on 11/26/2025I've had a great experience with all my teachers. They love what they do, and they're always open to helping students. The counselors, however, are impossible to reach. Not only this, but some of them have the worst attitudes ever, so good luck trying to have a meaningful conversation with them. The
Posted by a community member on 9/3/2024I agree with what the previous replies here have to say. The teachers are very kind and genuine people, and you can tell that they love what they do. My personal problem lies with the counselors. They do not reply to emails at all. And even if they do, expect a one-week gap. You could email them the
Posted by a student on 10/10/2023I’ve had a great experience with all the teachers here as many of them truly do believe in their students and pushes them to do better. However, it’s the student themselves that ruin the atmosphere. They do not care for the environment, their peers, or their teachers. They act like children that nee
Posted by a community member on 9/23/2023This school works hard to serve the community. Foss provides vast college bond support, the full IB program, IB classes, and an incredibly committed staff. The relatively small size makes extra-circulars highly accessible. School neighbors a beautiful wetland (the Tacoma Nature Center) as well as a

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have had 7 kids attend this school within the past 4 years and unfortunately our family has not had the best experience. There are very few caring teachers/staff, parents voices are not heard when it comes to concerns/safety for our children, they don't contact parents regarding issues at school, they don't care about issues the students are dealing with, bullying is tolerated, staff members encourage students to try sexual acts upon other students during school hours if they're unsure of their own sexuality. The list goes on. I do not recommend this school to anyone looking in the area. Please do research before sending your child here.Parent Review3y ago - Life Christian School
