The children have all done well at Lincoln. There are many excellent teachers there. Working with the children at home and encouraging reading were critical to each child's success.

My son is finishing out his first year at Lincoln. We came to Lincoln because we were unhappy with the parochial school that he went to last year. He did not like it there because he said that the teachers were mean. This year, his teacher is super. She uses positive reinforcement as discipline;

If there was one thing I would change it would be to have a higher level of parent involvement. There are so many ways you can be involved at this school and the kids love it when a parent comes in to help. The school makes it easy to visit and volunteer through the Parent Room and the parent volunteer organizer. There are always concerts to attend and great workshops. Read less

My child has attended Lincoln this year and I am not impressed. There are on average 21-25 children per classroom, and no gifted programs unless you are of low income. I live in the school neighborhood and because I make too much money (that's funny) My child who is considered gifted is not able to

I don't consider myself at a high income level, but education is VERY important to me regardless of what my socio-economic class is. Not to mention, next year all special education students will be integrated into the regular classroom. Neither the Sp-Ed students or the other students will be able to get the attention and education they need and deserve. I am currently looking into moving out of this town or putting my child in a private school where her needs will-be-met. Read less

Linclon is in the best neighborhood in New Britain. If more people in the neighborhood sent their children there, it would bring the test scores up. Many people in the area send their children to private schools and therefore that leaves room at Lincoln for many out of district children (the children

Lincoln is also one of the schools that has a biligual program which children who do not speak English still have to be tested. Again if more people in the neighborhood sent their children there, there would not be enough room for kids from other neighbordoods. Lincoln should not have a bad reputation just because of some low performing students. Many students go on the middle and high school and do great. Parent of children at Lincoln Read less

The problem with the school is that it needs to follow 'guidelines'. Bilingual education hurts our students. It has been proven in california and proven with out test scores. The liberal ways just do not work. We need to take a step back. Let's also throw most of the blame on parents or lack there

The school does have good and caring teachers....That work with 25 students per class, some of which are special ed. Not an easy task. My children will attend this diverse school and i will be responsible for most of their education. If they fail then i fail. The lack of parent involvement does not help the school either. If you are a parent then get involved in your childs education. Do not expect the teachers to raise our children. Read less
