Wannaque Regional School

I attended Lincoln School from kindergarten to grade 6, as did my children to grade 5. A lot of great memories there. Wonderful teachers and principle and staff.

My cuz goes to this school she gets bullyed everyday. She tell the staff there and no one helps her. We have being in there so many times but nothing never gets done to the bully's. Please beware of this school they don,t care about there students at all. Please try not to let your kids attend there if we want your child to be safe

This school is my children’s second home. They have made wonderful friends, have close relationships with their teachers and are learning in a safe, warm, inclusive environment. They are building a strong Jewish identity and learning about their heritage. I highly recommend joining the GBDS family! You won’t regret it!!

Extremely disappointing experience here. I dealt with consistent horrible bullying from grades K-8 from the exact three same students, and the school refused to do anything about it because those students' families were "buddy-buddy" with the administration. The teachers rarely helped me to deal with it - in fact, in the decade that I spent at this school, I can only recall two teachers who actually tried to stand up for me. The rest of the blew me off without any consideration. As the only Asian student in my classroom, I definitely felt being singled out for my race. The school character felt like, "We are in this together unless you aren't white." The teachers for the most part picked favorites and like most typical private schools, whatever family that had the most money/donated the most usually had a stronger say over less fortunate families. It was often seen when I asked for extra help that the teachers would reply claiming to be too busy to help me, but when another student asked for help, they would schedule a session without hesitation. To say the bullying policy here is poor would be giving them credit. It is nonexistent to the point that it seems like a majority of the teachers joined in on the bullying.The original principal that I had in Kindergarten was great, but the "new" principal during my time at the school was phony and often singled me out to the point where my parents almost had to file a report with the diocese to stop all the problems they put me through - it didn't work, it continued all the way up to my graduation. As for addressing learning differences and differentiation, it was mostly nonexistent. Everything was worksheets, repetitive vocabulary and spelling tests, filling out pages in a workbook/textbook and the occasional use of the SmartBoard. Not many aspects of Gardner's Multiple Intelligences were followed. I hardly ever got any hands-on activities to truly apply knowledge other than, "Complete Pages 34-37 in the workbook."All I have to say is that this school showed me what a good school community SHOULDN'T be, and I take the many things I've "learned" from this school with me into my professional career as an educator. All I have to say is if you are a student of color, stay away. Thank you to the VERY FEW teachers at this school who did not let the community's biases get in your way. As for the rest of them, I hope that you are never given the chance to put another student through what I was put through again.
