Linwood Elementary School

Linwood Elementary is located in the beautiful Linwood Park area. Linwood is a Title 1 Elementary School built in 2004, serving over 500 neighborhood children. Students learn through technology rich classrooms that focus on the basics in reading, writing and math.

Linwood will soon be under construction. The 2009 bond issue passed by Wichita residents has given us the opportunity to expand our building. Construstion should begin in early 2010 and should be complete mid-fall of 2010. We will be adding 8 classrooms, new restrooms and a new multi-purpose room.

Linwood staff is committed to providing a safe, caring environment that fosters learning and academic excellence. Block scheduling and small group instruction are used to meet the individual needs of students. Excellence is expected, diversity is valued and parent and community involvement is valued and appreciated.
