Our mission is to be an innovative and effective educational environment that provides diverse academic experiences to meet individual student needs and challenges all students to realize their educational potential. We strive to provide our students with both the technology skills and independent thinking that will allow them to succeed in the 21st Century.

Lynwood is an ethnically rich and economically diverse neighborhood school with an enrollment of approx. 350 students. We offer a wide variety of educational and enrichment programs to meet the needs of all of our students from self-contained, 4th and 5th grade Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) classes to English Language Development classes as well as drama, music and our popular after-school program, LEAP.

Our teachers and staff are dedicated to providing students with the skills and knowledge that they need to go to College. A 'no excuses' philosophy is emphasized, along with our commitment to a culture of universal achievement in which every child, without exception, becomes proficient in reading, math and written language by grade three.
