I do agree with some of the other reviews first i do believe that mr labbe did pick and choose his favorites and was harsh on his punishments. His character training was ridiculous rewarding children with games and candy when they did wrong. By most not listening to a parents concern in regards to

They also believe ib hrs of homework. But dont let a few bad apples ruin it for the rest of the great teahers there who really help in the learning process hope to have a few better years now that labbe is gone and we have a new principle. Not one problenm since the change im lovin it Read less

We feel we've wasted 2 yrs of our kids' life at Lincoln. They didnt learn anything. Teachers dont communicate w/parents. This is an area that needs a lot of work at this school.

This is a great school with wonderful teachers. My son went to this school and was able to learn a lot of new things. The staff is friendly and is good at answering your questions. I will recommend this school to anyone in Edison, NJ

I'm disappointed at how the school has been the past several yrs. Labbe did not bother to improve this school & compare to kids from other schools, we have a losing team. The teachers of other schools taught outside the box. We want our kids to be on top in this district & not on the bottom of the

Mr. Labbe always puts kids first and listens to the parents! I've continuously seen him go out of his way for every single child and parent that walks through the doors of Lincoln, new and old. All the children love him and he's more than welcoming to every parent and doesn't play favorites. The Connect

It takes away the burden on parents to have to use a phone tree for their class to get out messages, whatever they may be. They come at different times and what might be dinner for you might not be for someone else! I've only known Mr. Labbe a year and I'd stand beside him and his work any day. He's a good man and I wish I had him as a principal when I was a kid. Read less

I am very pleased at how much my child has learned in the years he has been at Lincoln. The staff & the Principal are great and out of all the teachers my son has had, I've respected all but one. How many other parents with children in other schools can say that?

Labbe is quick to put out the fire on any kids who do not fall in his so called 'square'. Labbe does not do anything to assist newcomers but is quick to point out the negatives in a kid. Lincoln would be good if not for Labbe. Perhaps it could improve if Labbe attends a class on how to deal with

I think some of the people that have given 3 stars or less are the ones that aren't involved and expect something for nothing. I am new to the area and my son just completed kindergarten at Lincoln last year. I couldn't be happier with the principal and the staff. Mr. Labbe attends every PTA meeting;

They really listen to the parents and work tirelessly trying to come up with new things for the kids and parents. Please attend every 3rd Monday if you have ideas - we'd love it! Also, my son had learning difficulties his first year and everyone (Mr. Labbe, the guidance counselor, the reading spclst, his teacher) helped him and they initiated otreach. Parents need to use the resources available. Lincoln is great! Read less

My child has been attending Lincoln for 3 yrs now. All of the teachers my child has had, has been very good at what they do. Mr. Labbe is very interactive with the kids. He understands them and they trust him. My child attended another Edison school a few years ago. At that school the princepal ran

If parents want more PTA action, then get involved in the PTA. It's not Mr. Labbe that needs to go, it all the 'dead wood' on and in the board of education that needs to go. I hope everyone that complained about Lincoln went out and voted at the Board election. My question for all the board members is 'why did you sell the Clara barton and Oaktree schools?' Read less
