Lincoln Junior High

Lincoln Junior High sits in Taft, a small oil-industry town tucked into the western edge of Kern County, where the community is tight-knit and most families have deep roots in the area. The school faces some academic challenges, particularly in science and math, which families who prioritize those subjects may want to keep in mind as they explore tutoring or enrichment options to supplement classroom learning. For parents already settled in Taft and looking to get involved, the small-town atmosphere means there's real opportunity to connect with teachers and staff in ways that can make a meaningful difference in a student's middle school experience.
