Liberty Elementary School

Loved having my kids at this school, amazing teachers

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!

Wonderful school ! This school should be on the top list in Clovis/fresno . The environment is warm and so far I love their curriculum.

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.

See the previous reviews. Ethnicity plays a hige role as well as who puts in more money and which mom who does not work helps kore at the school and who's husband has a better job. If your child is bullied they dont do anything. They dont have or enforce the policies or the zero tolerance policies. The new principle and GIS are worse and they favor their kids more so than others. They also dont listen to the kids who express themselves as far as the kids saying hey i dont understand or i need a little more help or so and so push or is saying threatening things to me. Everything gets brushed under the rug. They judge you by the color of your skin and the way you look and treat your kid the same way. Unless your white forget it. This school shouldn't get a 10 and as they get older it gets worse 3 of my kids went here and now granite ridge and clovis north. They are nightmares all the way around. My kids dread going to school and i dont blame them. Not playing a race card here at all. Just being bluntly honest. We are not going to go out of our way to be fake to be liked. People should not be racist and treat our kids wrong because of their skin color. Oh and if your white and cry, your kid will get away with murder. This has happened to my daughter 4 times this year so far and 1 time in front of me. When i brought it up it was brushed under the rug when that kid was clearly in the wrong. Race based. Principle and GIS and lunch time parent helpers are a joke. Make my kid feel uncomfortable along with a few teachers. Entitled kids with their Entitled parents. Apple doesnt fall far from the tree here.

We came from woods where my kids were getting strait A’s and awards. They were doing so good academically. Teachers knew our kids and knew they were honest and hardworking. We transferred them toThis School after moving closer to Fugman. We have found that the two older kids are not growing academically and if anything they have fallen short of the learning experience. I have found this school is more about rules than anything. My kids always were kind and looked out for others while that was a huge thing taught starting at TK over at woods and was instilled at home but encouraged at school. Woods felt safe for my kids where bullying was not allowed. This school is over packed for sure. I have never known an elementary school to hand out CC points starting at an early age. Again our kids never were in trouble and stood up for others where we came from. But Fugman feels like there are so many rules for the kids and parents. Woods did an amazing job at making an environment feel safe and welcoming and school fun while being respectful. I’m sad to not have been able to stay. We have tried transferring back but was denied. Very disappointing when I know currently there are parents driving from madera ranchos or fashion fair mall who are currently going there without problems. Transferring to a school where you felt your kids did their best should’ve been approved. This is the first time that my kids came home with grades that are not A’s. Disappointing!!!The Only kid who is adjusting well is our 1st grader but that is mainly because the Teacher herself is probably the best educator I have ever seen.
