We all know bullying is a primary issue in most school districts. However, bullying is taken to another level in the Lincoln Park School district. The bullying is coming from the administration/teachers instead of the students. We send our children here and come to find out the degrading and humiliation comes from the staff and principal herself. The way they speak to these children on a daily basis is repulsive. They would like students to respect them but do not provide respect in return. Instead of providing children with a learning environment, they are treating them as test bait. As long as their test scores make the school look good, then they feel they have succeeded. If your student does not test well, they right away look at them as there must be an issue and try and isolate the child and test them so they can classify them to have some justification to explain as to why the child tested poorly. It is a very sad sad place and does not provide a safe or educational learning environment. Close Quote
