Stephen C. Foster Elementary School

"The teachers and some of the other staff is great. Unfortunately I’m withdrawing my child because the after school program is full. I understand policies completely. But I don’t understand not being able to make an exception under very extenuating circumstances. I felt as though my child’s education did not matter at all to this school."

"Miss this school so much it's been almost 2 years that I had to say goodbye to the place where I grew up. I have to admit I miss all my teachers even the ones that were really heavy on me and I just hope one day I'll go and have a great time with the best teachers ever, Mr.Perez and Ms.Balfour"

"This was my old elementary school and I feel as if they taught me the appropriate tools I need to succeed. I occasionally go and volunteer as a tutor for the kids and although the teachers are fairly new, they are lovable and know exactly what they are doing. Every single teacher at that school have the passion for teaching and it shows through each successful individual."

"This school is amazing. I first came here as a volunteer and soon became part of the staff. Everyone is extremely friendly and the children's behavior makes it easy for teachers to do their job as well as the principal and vice principal. They are knowledgeable and help parents with all their concerns. It is predominately Latino."

"THIS SCHOOL IS PREDOMINANTLY HISPANIC, AND IT DOESN'T TEACH THESE CHILDREN THE RIGHT TOOLS OF SUCCESS. IT'S SO BAD THAT THEY'RE SUSPENDING KIDS FOR DEFENDING THEMSELVES AGAINST KIDS THAT ARE PICKING ON THEM, AND THERE'S NO PHYSICAL CONTACT INVOLVED. THERE ARE ONLY 8 BLACK CHILDREN AND THEY'RE TREATED UNFAIRLY."
