Linwood Elementary School (Kansas)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linwood Elementary School is a K-5 elementary school located at 1654 South Hydraulic in Wichita, Kansas. Established in 2004, it is part of Wichita Public Schools and it educates around 560 students in Sedgwick County.[1] The school was built as a replacement for an earlier school of the same name that was situated at 1340 S. Pattie Avenue.[2]

The school is notorious for its overcrowding. In the 2005-06 year, Teresa Broadhead without a classroom of her own, taught in a corner of the library and in a converted storage room.[3]

In September 2006 two students were admitted to hospital after they were given crack cocaine by adults.[4]
