William Foster Elementary School

The school is good at teaching the kids.But if you have a problem don't ever go to Mrs.Powers or Mrs.dimarco both very rude can't talk to them they yell.It's better to go to the board of education and get your problem resolved with Dr.Dupree who will listen and get it resolved.

I love William Foster. This year, I will have a child in 1st, K, and pre-K. I absolutely love their peer-model program. My daughter was a peer model last year and my youngest will be one for the 2010-2011 school. My son had Mrs. Frognowski for Kindergarten. I loved her. I felt that she was tenderhearted, but also good with boys. My son was the oldest in the class so he knew more than other students. She recognized this and didn't let him get bored. I appreciate this school so much.

My child did not learn a thing attending this school. I do believe this is on of the worst schools around. I give it a 1 star

This is an excellent school. My grandchild came from Shaker and South Euclid, which has been rated high. I felt l was down grading and l was completely wrong. This is a close net environment. Which every parent should look for. Hat's off to Mrs. Butzer.

My son started here last year for kindergarten. I was a little reluctant to send him to a public school, since I went to Catholic schools all 12 grades, but with the economic situation all families are going through we thought we would try it. He had a new teacher, right out of college. I thought great a breath of fresh air. He was just that and more. He was the best and most wonderful teacher ever. He made my son's first year of school so pleasant and he loved going every day just to see him and to learn. It also made it much easier for me as a parent sending my baby to school for the first time knowing he was in good hands. We are pleased with the school and hope his next couple of years here are like his first.

This school is turning disruptive very quickly. My daughter attened this school 3 years ago. It was a great experience. Now my son goes here. What a difference! I came to volunteer and witnessed students talking back to teachers. I saw a big fight being broken up. Sadly, this school is going down hill.

I don't think this school has anything to offer. They need more teachers that are dedicated to teaching. Mrs. Flood is one of the best teachers there. If they had more teachers like her it would be better. I feel the student teacher ratio is higher than Cleveland Public Schools and they wonder why our children don't do well. I also think it is no coincidence that the black children are not doing as well as others in that school. I feel some of the teachers are unwilling to go the extra effort to help students even when the parents are. I believe this school is more concerned with hiding what's going on in the classrooms than actually teaching.
