Lincoln Elementary School

There are going to be pros and cons with every school. I feel like the teaching is hit or miss depending on the teacher. My eldest's current teacher has taught him more than the previous 2 teachers have and without this skill lever of the current teacher, he'd still be behind. The previous teacher, kind of had a sucks to be you if you aren't getting it attitude and was hard to work with. I love this years teacher as he has been very helpful to my sons struggles. The principal has not been helpful when I've brough issues to him, it felt very dismissive and "well that's your opinion" and zero understanding for having differing views on things. If your family isn't big into the LGBTQ stuff, this school is very hard to be at as it is shoved down your kids throat at every turn. In the books, the curriculum, the decorations, the workers at the school, parents of children. It is very uncomfortable to be around if this isn't a part of your values system in your home. To each their own, but I think it is inappropriate to shove this kind of stuff down our kids throats. Why can't we just let them be kids as long as possible. I've never seen so much confusion over genders in my life than at this school and it breaks my heart for these kids. Straight people don't put up "straight pride" and have curriculum and coloring pages, and people shoving being straight down their throats, so why do we need to push the LGBTQ stuff? 1000% Do not recommend this school.

Madison Elementary is a cornerstone of this community. We have been here K-4th now and have been so pleased with our neighborhood school. The teachers really meet students where they are and strive to engage them in learning through their interests. Lots of family centered events - Science Fair, Holiday Store, Movie nights, ect. It has been an open and welcoming experience, that we look forward to continuing with our other children.

I love this school. They are reasonable, understanding and care about kids’ learning, and they listen to parent concerns. We want to move to have a larger lot but I’m really struggling with the idea of moving my child from this school.

This school will cater towards the bottom 10% of students and does not prioritize student learning. The principal is ineffective at providing consequences to students who are causing extreme disturbances in the classroom, often rewarding bad behavior. The Special Ed resources for students are extremely ineffective, they would rather exit a student from the program than provide the resources that will enable students to be successful. Some of the teachers are absolutely atrocious without any repercussions.

The problem here is that the big donors get the best treatment for their kids. I felt discriminated for not being part of the church, for not donating and volunteering enough.i find the school very cliquey and always felt some parents and kids were left out.if you go there, make sure you have plenty of money and are being part of the church . Be aware of the space you’re gonna get for your child, as what they offer is not great!
