I find Foster High School to be a safe place for both the students and staff. Foster high school is really diverse and that's one thing I love about going to foster.

Foster Senior high School is very diverse. There is a good amount of extra curriculars at the school. I enjoyed tennis the most although the couch wasn't very good. As for academic, it's on the down side. I think the school prioritize sports and other extracurricular activities over student academic as it is very obvious with how students behave.

When one enters high school, you start to have some expectations as to how and what you will be learning. You want to keep learning and have great teachers that keep you on your toes that truly care for you to learn not memorize. Foster High School has one of the best teachers I've seen compared to the ones I had in Mexico. All of my teachers do a great job in showing what could be useful for me in my life and gives us different opportunities for our futures. It's a shame that it tends to be overshadowed by the lack of determinism in students (not all but a good part of them) and how the unsafe the city of Tukwila is.

If your kid gets bullied here, none of the advisors or the principal will do anything about it. Even after you file a restraining order against the bully with the Tukwila Police Department. I have proof.

Bad school, disrespectful students and bullies. The teachers don’t care about anything either

I graduated from this school didn't my whole life in the school district.. I learned nothing from high school. They refused to let me rest out of classes that I knew about already and they miscalculated my credits the day before graduation I has to retake a class online in a day. I also has a teache...
