6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is my daughter second year at Lincoln Titus Elementary school. I will say the staff there is outstanding and it’s always been a very pleasant learning environment for my daughter as well as her always looking forward to going to school the next day. They actively engage parents for trips, activities and other classroom duties which I personally love because it gives you a sense of community.10/10 recommend.Parent Review2y ago - St Columbanus School
