Art program from district is a disappointment. It does not encourage any creativity or imagination from the students. All the art pieces look the same. It misses the whole point of doing art! PE is great! Principal lacks interpersonal skills. And the teachers do not welcome parent involvement

Unfortunately this very good school is headed downhill. The new principal is doing an exceptionally poor job and she is alienating everyone: students, parents and staff. She has no people skills, is a terrible communicator, and an even worse manager. Parent participation has fallen and attendance at

The school has very good teachers, a great neighborhood setting, and a great neighborhood & community feel to it. Thanks to BCE community fund -- the school offers music, art, libarian, and upgraded computer lab. Last year's principal just retired. She was very involved and enthusiastic, supervises

Extracurricular activities are very good but have limited space. Many parents are very involved.

We've liked a lot of things about Lincoln. The younger teachers are bright, motivated and eager to show what they can do. The long-time teachers have a sure hand in the classroom and still care. The student body is diverse in a good way; lots of exposure to other cultures, but a general commitment to

It could offer science workshops that really got kids excited about lab work and discovery. Some of this may evolve in a good way, year by year. Lincoln's principal, Mary Meissner, wants to run a great school. Parents are actively involved and generally constructive. It's just a matter of stretching goals and not settling into easy routines.
