Class Size
To ensure each student receives an appropriate level of individual attention and support, class sizes at Linda Vista are kept as small as possible. In grades K-3, each class has a maximum of 20 students. This is possible in part through funding provided by California's K–3 Class Size Reduction program which began in 1996.
Diversity
The mixture of cultures and languages of Linda Vista's students results in diverse classrooms and additional opportunities for learning, teamwork and appreciation of one another.
