Lots of bullying going on but dont get me started on the students here. The students here need to learn how to respect most of them make fun of mine and others peoples insecurities or disabilities which is not okay. Most kids here are racist and arent taught any manners. Now onto the school food, i have thrown up many times because of the food here. The food here used to be good (imo) but now it is very disgusting to the fact kids here are getting sick. The teachers i have had have mostly been nice but most of them are TERRIBLE and scream at CHILDREN i saw a pre-k student getting yelled at by a teacher and the teacher was full on screaming at the top of her lungs while the student was crying. I DO NOT recommend this school because of the bullying and teachers.

0 stars if possible COVID is not a big deal to them according to Lincoln they can not catch it outside and COVID is non existent as long as they continue creating revenue for the school. Money is the only thing on their mind. Kids health doesn’t matter money does.

i am somewhat disappointed to read these last recent comments, I grew up in Lincoln school and my nephews went there after me...we all, including all my friends, loved this school and the majority of the teachers were awesome. They were very constant with progress updates and had a miscellaneous activities...what?! no music? ......this school need to get back up there , I would love my son to go here.

I have three children here and met enough teachers to say that most young teachers are not focus on our children. My two oldest kids got bullied in school and still do. One teacher this yr is not young but acts like it. I always have to talk to teachers and set up conferences with the Dean but she is always busy and so I have to meet with the assistant principal. I have called district99 but things only change for a month or so. To me it does not matter how nice and clean the school is because the most important is our children. I am looking forward to moving to a new house and transfering my children next school year. Another thing this school is very strict on attendance and their funding. Other than that they do a half job.

My son has been attending Lincoln School since kindergarten and is now in 2nd grade. Most of the staff is friendly and some of the teachers are outstanding. The renovations and expansion to the building a few years ago has made the school a lovely place for children to learn. The principal and assistant principal are welcoming and open to listening to parents. One improvement I would love to see is more consistent and standardized communication systems between teachers and parents. Some teachers are great about sending weekly newsletters, but this is not consistent across the school. I wish the school would take advantage of all of the technology that came with the building renovation and use those tools to find ways to keep parents informed about what children are learning in school. I've seen schools in our neighboring district use listservs, class webpages and blogs to keep parents informed and I wish Lincoln would follow this example.
