What Parents Are Saying
"Lincoln is a wonderful school. The teachers are engaging and the children have fun while being challenged. There are numerous field trips throughout the year beginning in first grade, and in addition, numerous guest speakers, presenters, and performers are brought in. The children receive a well-rounded education that prepares them to enter the most competitive high schools in Chicago."
"Lincoln is the best neighborhood school in Chicago area. Strong leadership and vision from the principle, excellent teachers, active parents… In terms of students exceeding state standards, it outperforms all magnet schools and even a few selective enrollment schools. At least as good as the schools from the burbs. Imagin[ing] what the rumored $30~50 mil new building could do for the school."
"As neighborhood schools in CPS goes this is as good as it gets. Well funded by parents and most students are coming from households where the parents have at least college, most advanced degrees. Overcrowded, primarily because they are now capturing more children in a very large, very dense neighborhood boundary, but still many out of district IMHO smaller school, k-8 700 students or under much preferable to school of 1100. Playground on roof okay, no basketball, swings etc. allowed."
