What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, February 6, 2012

My children have attended school at Lincoln for 6 years and it rivals any private school on a much smaller budget. I've found the school's strengths to be academic curriculum, leveled learning, many great teachers and a warm family-friendly environment. There are some teachers and administration that could use improvement, but I think that is typical. Each classroom has a full time aid, so our children are really attended to. Children get a wide range of studies available, regular music and arts programs, regular physical education, several field trips per year. There is a great community and parent involvement at this school. I definitely recommend this school to anyone considering it. Close Quote
