Carden School Of Fresno

The school itself is ok the teachers as well are fine , the support staff and office person are friendly, the issue is leadership current GIS is passive and lacks empathy, principal is timid and does not stand ground, together they allow behavior to go unchecked and allow bullying to continue. Rather then have conversations and call out the bad behavior they dismiss and sweep it under a rug

Lincoln is an amazing elementary school with knowledgeable and compassionate staff. Under Mr. Verhalen's leadership, the school provides phenomenal support for the students and their families. The school is diverse in all categories from cultures, ethnicities, and socioeconomic backgrounds. I have found my kiddos' experience at Lincoln to be enriched so they can strive for excellence in character, academics, sports, and extracurricular activities. We have been a Lincoln family for over 10 years and are back with a younger crew. We have found that the quality of teaching at the school has remained at the same caliber of excellence. From administration and teaching to maintenance and supportive programs, Lincoln stands above the rest! Go Lions!

We love this school! The teachers are kind, supportive, and really care about the students. The staff is always helpful, and the school provides a safe and welcoming environment. My kids are learning and growing so much here. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a great school!

Only writing this review because I read one that said this is the worst school in the district. That's nonsense. First of all, Clovis Unified is consistently ranked as one of the best pre-K-12 districts in the U.S., and secondly, this is a well maintained, well run school with fantastic teachers, principal, and community support. While located in Fresno, being in the Clovis Unified SD is a huge advantage as the district funds and runs their schools at a much higher level than the Fresno School District. We're lucky to have Clovis Unified extend into the Woodward Park areas of Fresno, most other areas are not so lucky. I've been in pre-K-12 education my entire 21-year career and can attest that this is one of the best elementary schools available in this area or in the Fort Collins/Loveland/Berthoud area of CO where I spent most of my career.

Lot of aggressive behavior from kids and teachers don’t stop it. Teachers are also not engaged with the students and just do bare minimum.

A very good place to make friends, I have been to this school for about 7 years and I have made many good friends, I thank this school because without this school I would never have met my best friends. For educational purposes this school is decent, with some teachers doing an absolutely terrific job in teaching,loving, and caring for their students, while there a few other teachers who like teaching their students, but sometimes lack a few important characteristics, like patience, flexibility, and sometimes just straight up kindness, and there are also teachers who just teach to get paid, they just sit there and they lack all good characteristics especially patience. I recommend this school if you want your kid to be a good Muslim and to be surrounded by other Muslim kids.

I went to Fresno Christian Schools and honestly it’s not what it tries to be at all.They love to talk about being a Christian school but the environment doesn’t really reflect that. Bullying is a real problem there and a lot of the time it feels like nobody in charge actually does anything about it. If you’re not part of the right group or you don’t fit in you can get treated pretty badly and it just gets brushed off. What makes it worse is the hypocrisy. They push all these values about kindness faith and character but a lot of people there don’t act that way at all and it doesn’t seem like leadership really enforces it. It ends up feeling more like a label than something they actually live by. On top of that it’s really expensive for what you get. Families are paying a ton in tuition plus constant fundraising and it makes you wonder where that money is even going. The campus itself isn’t anything special and they don’t even fully own it they operate out of Peoples Church. For how much money comes in you’d expect better facilities or at least some real improvements over time. Overall it just doesn’t live up to what it claims to be. Between the bullying the lack of accountability and the cost it can be a pretty frustrating place to be
