    "This is a truly excellent school. My children transferred in from a charter school and they were behind, but Linwood Howe has graciously caught them up and now they are advancing beyond belief! Really excellent teaching going on here! I am amazed at how much my children are learning. I knew it was a good school but it is even more challenging than I thought it would be and I love it. There is a great spirit here as well. It's a happy, positive, healthy place. And the principal is truly outstanding. Children and parents love her, she's involved and engaged, and she addresses concerns promptly and efficiently. I am so grateful for this school. 5 stars for Linwood Howe!"

    "I had my son in Ventura County schools up until the middle of 3rd grade. His 2nd and 3rd grade school was rated 9 out of 10 by Great Schools. His teachers were nice, but they didn't push him. When he transitioned to Linwood Howe in the middle of 3rd grade his teacher said he had a lot of catching up to do. I saw a huge improvement in his reading and writing in just a few months. We absolutely love his 4th grade teacher who communicates with us and is really on top of how he is progressing in her class. She even offered to have him stay after class to work on his homework with her, which I never had a teacher offer me in the past. The afterschool program is wonderful, my son enjoys the time spent with his friends after school-they are really good with him and communicate with us on a daily basis. LH has been nothing but a positive experience for our son!"

    "Sure LH could do better, but it's on the right track. API improved to 826 - can only hope it keeps gaining because LH is better than its test scores. While test scores are important, LH is also focused on nurturing a well-rounded child. It focuses on social responsibility as well as academics. Lots of parent support. The 2nd grade teachers are fantastic. Class size is manageable despite budget cuts. Principal knows each student by name & listens to parents. An active booster club raised money for class aides. Downside, for 2011-2012 the boosters scaled back aides to 3 instead of 6 because of threat by the union (ACE). Kids were cheated of aides because the boosters was forced to unionize volunteers. I bring this up because dedicated staff & parents are working to better LH and create an enhanced instructional environment despite budget cuts. When a group like ACE complains that the boosters are taking away union jobs that didn't exist & are not paid for by CCUSD, their actions hurt our kids by taking donations from classes. As a parent stakeholder, I want LH to be the best in the district and it has the potential. It has a diverse student body and great parent community."

    "This is our 1st year at LinHowe and we are pleasantly surprised by our experience at the school having moved into CCUSD and we were not able to get into Farragut. The principal impressed us in our one-on-one talk with her to discuss our concerns about LinHowe being the lowest ranking school in CCUSD. She continues to impress us by being very involved with the kids and we see her roll up her sleeves to help with the mundane behind the scenes tasks that go to run the school smoothly. The jury is out on how savvy she is on dealing with the district to benefit LinHowe, but she has proven to be approachable, dedicated, and hard-working in a thankless position. I find the homework to be light, but I understand LinHowe follows CA standards. When we complained to the teacher, she went out of her way and made a set of extra homework for our child. Our teacher is hardworking and collaborative with us to meet our child s needs. There is strong parent involvement and a lot of fundraising, which is ever more needed because of state cuts. Between the many LinHowe activities, afterschool and Cornucopia programs, our child is getting a good balance of academic and extracurricular stimulation."

    "Obviously the Parent who put that Lin Howe is a mediocre school is a disgruntled parent. Probably an Ex? Speaking of mediocre education, for future reference "bye" should be "by" in the context that you wrote it in. Furthermore you neglected to put specifics on what makes this school mediocre. Someone who wants their child to go to the Valencia School District is obviously unaware of the issues the Valencia Schools have, as my kids used to be in an Elementary School in Valencia and are now in CCUSD. If a parent has a problem with the school you should address the principal or district to see what can be done to improve the situation. This was clearly a parent who is uninvolved. Be proactive. Linwood Howe has outstanding parent involvement and incredibly dedicated teachers. My children are thriving at Linwood Howe. As far as Ivy league education goes... My first concern is that my child grows up to be a happy, well rounded, productive, member of society. I'm not knocking it, if my child or any other strives for an ivy league education, great. But it's not everything, don't forget, there are a lot of people who went to ivy league schools that are now convicts."
