2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating Averagelementary School. I am the grandparent of three children enrolled in the school. I am the parent of eight children. Two were enrolled in Lincoln. I go way back 22 years (1992) before the new building was built. Neighbors told me to keep my then small children in parochial school because Lincoln was not a "good" school. The crossing guard told me that one day. Franklin was full, trying to send children to Lincoln and parents didn't want to send them there. A school is as good as its head, the Principal. Today, I see a complete turnaround. The teachers and the principal are doing an excellent job. What is important to me is that my grandchildren enjoy going to school. There is an enthusiasm for learning. Everybody is struggling right now, we don't have private school money right now and I have to say keep up the good work to Lincoln staff and teachers. Thank you so much to Mr. King, my hat's off to you because its a big job that you have with staff, parents, students and the District.Parent Review12y ago - Lincoln Junior High School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageFormer student here, will not disclose details such as my name for safety. I was constantly harrassed in this school for the year I was there, was a mixed student who only went because I was in a hard living situation.The students were absolutely terrible. I have ADHD, and looked different from everyone there which means I was an absolutely huge target for harrassment. The students in the school comstantly got me in trouble, harmed me mentally and physically, or verbally attacked me near-constantly.The community of students also were not intelligent. Was in an argument because a student got mad at me for when I losted off genres when he asked me about the types of media I consumed as one example I vivdly remember.Staff were below average. Some felt obviously tortured from their enviornment, some were terrible at giving directions, some obviously did not care. Which I personally view as not very professional.I do not recommend this school at all, nor the community. This was my experience as a former student taking Freshman year.Other Review2mo ago
