Lincoln Elementary School

Over the years, Lincoln had struggled to cope with a changing community and demographic. The past 6 years, we have seen a tremendous change. There is a deep rooted sense of community. Proficiency has gone up significantly and the students are grasping the new Common Core curriculum well. The teachers are some of the best teachers you will find in the region. They have a strong PTA and have a growing Ballet Folklorico group that even performs at Disneyland every year. Lincoln is a hidden gem in PUSD, rich in history and striving for excellence. I highly recommend it.

This school is awful. My daughter was here for 2nd grade. The teacher did not in any way prepare her for 3rd grade. The school is more concerned with what money they are losing when your child is out sick than with teaching them.

Lincoln Elementary came a long way in the last few years. The PTA has had record teacher, parent and student involvement, winning the Legacy Award and receiving tons of awards from city, state and national officials. If there were any teachers who had given up, they are no longer here. Every single teacher excels beyond their responsibilities and job requirements to ensure "every" student is cared for. The special education staff is hands down some of the most dedicated, caring and patient staff. Alicia McMullin (Principal) takes the time to know each student's name and gets involved in their lives as both a administrator and a caring coach. From Mr. Baker & Mrs. Yenjai in Kinder, to the 3rd grade dynamic duo, Mrs. Lo & Mrs. Martinez, to the hard working 6th grade teachers Mrs. Hill, Mrs. Gonzalez, & Mr. Lopez, to the Mrs. Rafael who takes on 4th grade, as well as train our Baile Folkl rico afterschool (who recently performed at Disneyland). Bravo Lincoln teachers & staff! You continue amaze me.

The teachers at Lincoln go above and beyond to reach each individual student. I have had nothing but positive experiences with Lincoln. The new principal is very involved and goes out of her way to support the students and families. I wish more parents would get involved with the PTA. It has evolved greatly in the last few years, but the committed members of PTA are very few.
