My son went for 2nd and 3rd grade in this school. He did good for 2nd grade but the 3rd grade teacher was terrible. She was disaster from first day. She has no focus on academics and created hostile environment and promoted bullying in class. She is disorganized. He submitted homework on time, but often he comes home with the note that he did not, however she already graded the homework/assignment and sent it back with him. My son scored higher than state and school average on MAP test and instead of praising him, she kept on questioning how did he get high score. She harassed and bullied my son constantly and took worst out of him. She spread negative rumors about him. We had problem solving meeting with higher authority but she never followed action plans and refused to follow PBIS guideline. My son could not take her negativity anymore so had to move to new school in middle of the school year. He has regained his self-esteem and doing good in new school.

My kids attend Lincoln and love it! The staff is very caring and passionate about teaching. Both my kids have tested well above average on standardized testing. Lincolns PTO is doing a wonderful job too! There are many activities for students to become involved in as well (girls-on-the-run, Girl Scouts, chess club, Battle of the books...just to name a few). Nothing but a positive experience!

We attended this school last year and had a great relationship with the Kindergarten teacher. We have moved and live in a new district now. New school: unique & healthy lunch, 1:1iPad initiative for each student, and personal communication from the teacher immediately. New school: very friendly and helpful front desk staff & the principal personally welcomed us. Lincoln: the front office staff is often confrontational and difficult to communicate with, the principal is aloof to communicating with the parents, and both groups make you feel devalued. PTO at Lincoln: doing their best to improve the technology in the school by occasionally purchasing special dry erase boards from time to time, but I never saw one of these. Class sizes: Lincoln is struggling with class sizes & our new school will purposely move students around (before the first day of school and before they are ingrained in a particular school) to keep the sizes down. My son's class has 21 kids in it. Don't get me wrong, the teachers and PTO seem to be trying as hard as they can with what they have, but without the proper support from the school district and other staff, I just don't want my child going there anymore.

The teachers are wondeful in this school as well as the principal The definitely have it together and I appreciate all they do for my children.
