What a wonderful school! The principal and teachers deserve a lot of credit, but so do the parents. I find that the parents of the students work very hard with their children to help them achieve success to another level. It is the school staff, atmosphere, children, and parents all working together that make this a gem! We love Lincoln for our children.

This is an excellent school that provides a wide range of learning opportunities. My oldest was a little slow at starting to read and was recommended for reading recovery in first grade. She loved working one-on-one with the reading teacher and never felt embarassed or out of place. She is now several grades past that and reading quite well. May or may not ever be her strong point, but it is no longer a limitation. Her teachers have all done an excellent job working with her on her weakest points, but also pointing out her strong points. My youngest is a more 'natural student' and is also doing great at Lincoln. This small school is a gem, catering to students of all abilities from my experience.

I home schooled my two boys of which my oldest struggled from a learning disability to enrolling them at Lincoln. I have never been more pleased with the education they have received! The past 4 years I have seen my boys grow so much from the education they recieve, along with the caring teachers & staff! I am so pleased with Mrs. kolarik {The principal } she is VERY fair & very smart & always helpful.The office has an incredible secretary that is friendly,outgoing,positive, very caring to all the childrens needs. The secretary has a hiden talent that I think any parent would want to know - she is very much hands on with our daughter who is 9 & diabetic, She has trained her self & learnt so much on her own,she is wonderfuI I feel very safe & blessed here.

This elementary takes a very liberal approach to learning, allowing each child to learn as an individual. This is fine as long as your child doesn't have a learning disability, because this is ignored, and the buck is just passed along with nobody taking any accountability. I urge you to be proactive with your kids, whether they have learning disabilities or not. Only the parent knows their child best, and therefore is best suited to demand the best education they can receive and also to advocate for that child when it seems that no on else cares. My child would have fallen through the cracks had I not spoken up for him. The principal and teachers were good at offering excuses like 'he's a typical boy', 'check for ADHD', 'late birthday'...even though it was in the spring. Advocate for your child and demand accountability.
