Thrivepoint High School at Metro

Abraham Lincoln Traditional School is a fantastic school with a strong emphasis on both academics and parent involvement. One of the things that truly sets it apart is the collaboration between the school and families. For example, the dress code was thoughtfully created with parent input to ensure that clothing does not distract from what matters most, learning.The school also implemented PBIS, which focuses on teaching appropriate behavior through positive reinforcement rather than punishment. This creates a supportive and encouraging environment for students.The teachers and staff go above and beyond every day to provide the best possible education and experience for the kids. There are also many events funded by the GUILD, which help build a strong sense of community and consistently encourage parent engagement.This is not your typical school. Students are challenged academically with nightly homework, memorization of poems, and quarterly book reports. The grading scale is also more rigorous than in many other schools, pushing students to work harder and reach their full potential.Overall, Abraham Lincoln Traditional School offers a structured, engaging, and highly supportive environment that helps students thrive both academically and personally

My son has been attending Manzanita since 2nd grade. He is now in the 5th grade. Principal Givens is very caring and passionate about each kid and does her best to make sure ALL kids are safe and engaged. The school has a lot of fun events that the students look forward to. The teachers not only teach the curriculum but teach kids how to be respectful, responsible and safe.

The school provides many resources for the diverse population. Teachers and staff are keeping parents informed and included. After school events for the parents are offered many times throughout the year.

The school has amazing students and parents. The staff are really nice and very accomodating.
