GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The majority of the teachers at Foster have been there for over 10 years. They genuinely care about their students and do the best they can with what little they have to give them the best elementary education they can. They are very engaging and go above and beyond to make elementary school memorable for the kids.
