Foster El

Foster EL is a elementary school located in Kingwood, TX, serving grades -1–5 and approximately 559 students. Operated by Humble ISD, the campus sits about 11.9 miles from Spring News's newsroom and is part of Spring News's ongoing local education coverage.

The school employs roughly 43 full-time-equivalent classroom teachers for a student-to-teacher ratio of about 13.0:1. That ratio is below the state average for TX, generally an indicator of smaller class sizes and more individualized instruction.

Foster EL is a traditional zoned public school within Humble ISD, meaning enrollment is generally tied to residence within the school's attendance boundary. Boundary maps and feeder patterns are published by the district and updated annually.

State accountability ratings for TEA are released annually and combine student achievement, growth, and closing-the-gaps metrics. Spring News publishes rating updates as soon as they become public each fall, with comparisons to nearby campuses and prior-year trends.

For families in Kingwood considering elementary placement, Foster EL is one of the campuses Spring News regularly covers — including school board decisions, bond elections, and individual program changes that affect enrollment.
