The teachers at Lincoln care deeply about their students. They do weekly professional development to make sure they are giving students the best tools and skills possible for them to be successful in high school and life beyond high school. They offer rigorous class options, mental health groups and other supports, and many sports and clubs for enrichment. Their Special Education programs are some of the most comprehensive in the district, and they have 4 Center programs for students with more intensive needs. The staff is mostly bilingual and staff make sure students have access to language supports during their whole time in school. Currently some students struggle with motivation and interest in learning but the school changes things every year to try to help students feel excited about what they're learning. Students graduate from Lincoln high school with offers of full-ride scholarships, having gained free college credits, and having explored areas of interest such as Digital Art, Construction, Music, and Business.

On a scale of 1 to 10, my experience was a 1. I feel sorry for the teachers and the children.

My son went to this school for less than a school year and was bullied several times with NOTHNG being done about it or to the bullies. I had to threaten to have the police called if it happened again before they "found" a way to put him on the other 6th grade block. He was still bullied with nothing being done, even had a child punch him in the face and nothing was done. I had a child (who I later found out had a 1-to-1 paraprofessional) approach my car in the lot as I was picking my son up with no adult in sight. They have asked me THREE times if we are moving him to another school and all three times I have said yes and given them the name of the school he will be attending. THREE times?! That's crazy! I don't know what the admin and staff are doing but it is definitely not taking care of our children and ensureing their safety!

I had my reservations about sending my daughter to this school because of the 2 out of 10 it received on this website. Once I realized that the academic rating is for K-12 and that the elementary level has much better scoring than that, I felt more comfortable. A few things that I love about this school. First, my daughter is able to do dance, drama, art, and music at school. It is less time away from home in the evenings because I don't have to put her in outside classes. Secondly, the teachers at this school (speaking at the elementary level) are outstanding. I've been so impressed with their level of commitment to helping all of the children excel. My child was already reading when she started kindergarten, but they have been wonderful about differentiating for her and others, and they have a great gifted and talented teacher who works with the kids as well.Last of all, the elementary level principal is awesome! She collaborates with teachers and parents and is constantly working to improve the school (on all levels. i.e. teaching, data, culture). This school has a great community feel and gives great academic opportunities as well as art-filled experiences.

It was horrible! My kid got bullied and I had reported it multiple times but the school refuse to do something so when my kid actually got into a fight with the bully he was the one suspended while the other kid got a apology and chips?! This school is perfect for kids that are trouble makers since they get rewarded instead.

Honestly, As a parent I find these other reviews hilariously ridiculous. One review is from a parent who cares enough about their student to leave a bad review but not enough to help them dress according to the rules, the other two are from parents who are obviously disengaged from the school and are rating it off of second hand information. The truth is that the school's Principle, leadership and teachers are great, and really care about the students. The area around the school (where I reside) is a troubled community and the strides Kepner has made in such a short time is no less than amazing. I love this school, and my students do too. The difference between my review and these others is that mine is from a first hand account aswell as from an engaged parent who is active in this school. I could not say enough good things about this school. Is it perfect? No...but no school is. However, people need to stop blaming schools when in reality the issue is their lack of parent involvement.

Nuestra experiencia ha sido maravillosa, nuestra hija se ha acoplado muy bien, el acompañamiento y las clases extracurriculares han sido de gran apoyo!
