School Overview

Lichen K-8 sits in Citrus Heights, a suburban community northeast of Sacramento where neighborhoods are established and family life tends to move at a steadier pace than the city proper. The school serves a broad K-8 range, which can be a nice fit for families who value keeping kids in one familiar building through middle school, though its academic scores currently sit below the state midpoint across English and math. Families who are drawn here often appreciate the consistency of a single-campus experience and the generally affordable, accessible feel of the Citrus Heights area, while those prioritizing top academic performance may want to explore other options within San Juan Unified.
