Terrible school, ESPECIALLY if your kid is autistic. Teachers don’t know what they’re doing, principals don’t care and nobody makes an effort to do any better. I gave this school two chances and it just got worst. My son won’t be going here next year, I would rather him be home school if it’s came d
Posted by a parent on 3/27/2026With the schools new renovations and new principle Mr mcnear i feel like this school has gone above and beyond. The new principle here makes the school so much safer, cleaner and organized. You can tell he cares alot about the school. The school is more tech savvy and post updates of whats happening
Posted by a parent on 2/7/2025My autistic son attended the school for less than two months, and I had to remove him. There is no type of discipline or structure in the school principal vice principal. Everyone in the school has very poor communication.. My 10 year old unfortunately is still there. I fear for his safety every day
Posted by a parent on 11/13/2023My FIRST GRADER was CHOKED in the bathroom stall by another first grader. The child was already a problem and was left to go by herself, where she took that opportunity to hurt my kid. The schools response? Oopsie, we will have a monitor with her now. Cool my child has contusions on her neck now tho

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teaching staff for grades 1-8 are okay. The principal and dean do not handle situations effectively. They do not keep parents up to speed, the dean has used foul language to me and the children. She unprofessional and rude she uses street language invited me to the school to “match my energy”.Parent Review4mo ago - Lincoln High School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is disorganized in all aspects of running an organization. They don’t take responsibility when it comes to bullying and it seems like it’s up to the kids to defend themselves. If your child is into sports through the CYO DO NOT SEND THEM HERE!! There is no sense of urgency in creating an environment that gets students excited about extra curricular activities at all!!! My child has been being harassed all school year and the lack of accountability by teachers and staff is absurd. I have three children going to this school one graduating this year, the staff doesn’t celebrate the accomplishment of graduating students even by showing up for them at their fundraisers. I do not recommend this school at all, it’s one step above public school.Parent Review2w ago
