The teachers are the best, most caring, most energetic bunch I've encountered. My son loves it and he's blossoming as a student.
My daughther's been going to Foster City School since Kinder. She enjoys her time in school and abosulely loves her teachers from Kinder till 3rd grade. Ever since she was in Kinder, I always volunteer to help out in her class and so I get to see first hand how her teachers dealt with the students. We have been fortunate so far that our daughter had, in my opinion, great educators. Every teachers has their own style and we have the end result, a well-read, eager, enthusiastic, happy and an A student daughter. We would been happy with a B because we want her to enjoy school. But so far, it shows that she was always in good hands.
Our experience with Foster city elementary has been hit and miss, mostly misses. My son attended the school for 3 years. His Kindergarten teacher was just ok, didn't know how to deal with parents and super sensitive to comments. It was her first year of teaching, so someways understandable. To this day, my son counts her as his least favorite. His first grade teacher was just fantastic and we all loved her. His second grade teacher was the worst. She used to give weekly homework on Mondays and he used to finish it in an hour. Then the rest of the week, he has nothing to do. My son used to love her because he used to get 'lots of free time in class to read books and talk to his friends' once he finished with his work.
FCE is as stated above average in what they expect academically. It is a large school however which makes it difficult to feel a sense of community and togetherness. The parking is a mess and I think that the school itself could use some clean up. It has a lot of garbage and weeds for such a high income area school. I would also like to see more extra curricular offered.
