Read what parents are saying about Lynwood Elementary SchoolMy child loves this school as do I, learning two languages at this age is awesome , the principal is very knowledgeable and really cares about her students.
Posted by a parent on 12/10/2021This review compares my observations of Lynwood, Rancho and Pleasant Valley 2014 tours my daughter will enter K in 2015. Overall, I liked the Lynnwood school and principal, and I felt the students we saw enjoyed their learning opportunity and collaborating together. I feel Lynwood has a great program that is challenged (in terms of test scores) by the high # of ESL learners but that anyone going to Lynwood has the opportunity for a great education, just like Rancho and PV. 1. Lynnwood successfully seeks grants to add enrichment opportunities and resources for Lynwood. Both TK/K classes at Lynwood have full time bi-lingual teachers aids. Rancho and PV rely on parent volunteers to support teachers. 2) the class sizes are small -21-22 students at Lynwood, versus higher at Rancho and significantly higher at PV (>25 in Kindergarten). 3) on the tour, the principal was very respectful to the students and the students were very respectful to him as they moved to the cafeteria for snack. The children in all the rooms we observed worked well together, just like at Rancho and PV. 4) the classrooms are spacious with beautiful windows and outdoor views, particularly in the K rooms.
Posted by a parent on 11/14/2014Our daughter just started 1st grade at Lynwood and it's a wonderful little neighborhood school. The principal is very accessible and hands-on and the teachers are warm and caring. We're looking forward to a great year!
Posted by a parent on 9/3/2014I have found Lynwood to be very bias in grading. My child was always being accused of doing things perpetrated by other students. The principle is always clueless and has a way of acting like he is making things happen for students with certain needs. Lynwood doesn't have any tools to assist in cultural diversity. They only focus on about two cultures avoiding discussion in the other culturs they have. One teacher always complained about being there at the school when we conversed.
Posted by a parent on 8/11/2012Best school I've ever attended. The GATE class was the greatest experience of my life, and it's benefited me as a person in imeasurable ways. The advanced class was placed there to boost the tests scores of the school, which can lead to the assumption that it's a poor learning environment, but that is not the case. I learned more in those 2 years than I had in other elementary schools for 4. I loved it.

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers in this school are very professional and the students are very friendly. Neither of our two children's mother tongue is English, but after a year here they all got A grades in all their subjects. MCA is not large,so the principal, teachers and parents can get together, just like a big family!Parent Review2y ago - Living Epistle
