I have my four children attending Lincoln Elementary school for 3 years now and I can say they have great teachers and great programs for children with special needs.I am glad my children attend Lincoln elementary.

Lincoln Elementary is a great school with very devoted teachers and staff. The principal is very personable and makes others feel welcome.

There teachers are tough but very fair. The have a wide selection of teachers who all have something to teach your child. They have choir and fun activities for your child to enjoy. They have lots of pta opportunities and always ask for parent involvement in school functions and also class room field trips. Lincoln El. is a great school, where your child(s) will have many friends and where they will make many fawn memorys for years to come!

I have two grandsons at Lincoln Elementary. My oldest grandson started third grade this year, while his brother started kindergarten. I have found that Lincoln Elementary has excellent teachers and a no-nonsense policy about safety and consideration for others. Teachers recognized that my oldest grandson, while bright beyond his grade, needed extra help with paying attention. They have done necessary testing and made recommendations that will make life easier for him as well as those around him. I am very pleased with this school.

I am disappointed in the problem Lincoln has with kids bullying my child, the school has a no bullying policy but my child has had problems with other children bullying him for three years now. The yard duty ladies do not pay good attention to your child's needs. In addition when there is a problem and I took it to the principal they said they would follow through with it and never did. By the way there is no one (adult) making sure your child is eating their lunch, my child came home hungry until I started making his lunch from home. I am extremely disappointed in Lincoln.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
