Lincoln High School - Lincoln

Foskett Ranch Elementary School opened in August 2005 in northwest Lincoln and serves about 400 students from transitional kindergarten through fifth grade, with around 50 employees. Our average class has 25 students per teacher. Students are the Falcons, and our schoolwide expectations follow the word SOAR: safety first, offer kindness, always be responsible, and respect matters. After the last bell, students can join clubs run by our staff. Band and choir are led by our music teacher, and there is also Fun with Circuits, a Robotics Programming Club for fourth and fifth graders, Garden Club, Puzzle Club, a Leadership group for grades 4 and 5, and K-Kids, a service club for grades 3 to 5 sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Lincoln. A Homework Club meets after school as well. For working families, the fee-based STAR program provides before and after school care on our campus, with scholarships and a sliding fee scale for eligible families. Our PTO meets monthly and raises money for classroom enrichment.

We are a tuition-free TK–12 public charter school serving El Dorado, Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter and Yuba counties. Families work with a credentialed supervising teacher to choose home study, digital learning or blended live virtual instruction. Supported Home Study is a print-based option for TK–8. Our program includes small intervention groups, enrichment and parent support. Eligible students receive services through an Individualized Education Program or 504 plan. We are WASC-accredited and offer UC/CSU A–G coursework, career pathways and community-college opportunities for eligible high-school students.

A senior project is one of our graduation requirements at Phoenix High School. Students demonstrate progress through assignments, portfolios and projects in a curriculum that follows California's common core standards while considering different learning styles and achievement levels. We use that work to help students pursue a diploma at Phoenix or prepare to return to a comprehensive high school. Course options can extend beyond our campus. Students may attend Lincoln High School or Twelve Bridges High School for a course unavailable at Phoenix, depending on openings and class schedules. Our program resources also include art, dual enrollment and project-based learning. Students and families can consider those options as they plan coursework and the next step in their education. We work with families and the wider community on students' academic work and personal goals, including purpose, values and positive habits. Through Western Placer Unified School District, families have access to school information, college and career planning and community support resources. Our student outcome goals cover responsible citizenship, effective communication, academic achievement, career planning and health. The senior project required for graduation draws on those goals. A Phoenix diploma or a return to a comprehensive high school remains the student's choice.
