"WAS a great school. As of yesterday, September 7th 2011 - Linda Verde opened its doors, only to shock parents and students alike with severely overcrowded, combined grade level classrooms. Scores of parents continue to protest at Linda Verde Elementary School in Lancaster. I am a parent who knows the school well; as 2 of my older children have now promoted from Linda Verde to Middle School. Nothing like this has ever occurred and it is an outrage. I watched in horror as my daughter ( who is an excelled student with many awards for academic achievement and should now be in 2nd grade ) was placed into one of these overcrowded split grade level classrooms - grades 1 and 2. She reported that she was not allowed to play at recess nor have lunch with other children in 2nd grade, albeit her classmates. She is humiliated as she has already been teased about being in a "1st grade" class. School officials are giving parents the "run around" as to why our children must endure these circumstances. One employee stated to an already agitated parent that the school is "holding back" some of the students as in repeating the grade they were just promoted from ?! A cover up?"

"Wow. How long of a fall, in such a short time. I attended Linda Verde 88-91. The school's low test scores are basically a sum up the Antelope Valley as a whole, as we have had an influx from down below. The eastside was never great, but a workingclass neighborhood. I drove by recently and it is a mixture of little tijuana and lil watts/palmton, transplanted in the desert. Thanks gentrification and Section 8. Such a shame. 661-860-7606 if you have any questions."

"Linda Verde is a wonderful school. Everyone who works there takes an interest in student achievement. My son loves going there and when I visit I get the sense that the primary goal is to get the kids ready for college."
