Lincoln Elementary

Lincoln Elementary sits in the heart of Tulare, a Central Valley agricultural city where the community runs deep and families tend to put down roots for generations. The school serves a largely working-class neighborhood, and while its test scores reflect some of the challenges common to this part of the Valley, it's the kind of place where teachers know their students by name and family ties to the school often span decades. Families who value a close-knit, community-centered environment — and who are committed to being active partners in their child's education — will find a familiar, grounded school culture here.
