My grandson attends Lincoln Elementary School and I could not be happier. He loves LES and his teachers. The Principal is the most caring, professional I have ever seen. I am so proud my grandson had the opportunity to attend Lincoln Elementary School. He is so happy and is learning so much.

I am not sure what school the last reviewer was in - but it's not the Lincoln Elementary School I know. The teachers are extremely caring and go out of their way to help ALL the students. Administration is wonderful and positive. This is the most wonderful school in the area!!! It has consistent principles that are the basis for the positive educational environment there.

DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS SCHOOL!!! This school has several problems and no one seems to care. There are teachers who have paid students to give them a massage. Some of the people who help with activities come in on drugs and the school has allowed them in and not asked them to leave or not come back. Also there has been a time when I observed a parent helping grab a child by there arm and shake him. I brought it to the attention of a teacher and they just ignored it. I know it was not that parents child or even a relative. This school and is administration seem to only care about those who have the money and not the under dogs. Your children are not safe when they are at this school.

I must say I love LES!!! My daughter is in first grade this year and she loves it. She has learned so much that I am truly amazed... We recently transfered from Talladega City schools and the change has been wonderful. LES teachers and administration have a true love for the well being of all of the students no matter gender, race or status. Thanks for all you do!!

Overall I think Lincoln Elementary is a wonderful enviroment for my children to receive an education. The teachers are up to date on the best techniques. The NASCAR theme throughout the school reflects the local culture and, in my opinion, is the most unique and eye-catching decor of any school that I have visited in Alabama. I would just like to say to the faculty, 'Keep up the great work!'

I have a child who failed last year. I tried to stay in touch with the school concerning this matter, but I did not get notified of this until 2 days from the end of school. Although his mother has custody of him, I maintain involved in his education due to his learning problems. The teacher, and the school in general, seems unconcerned with the children that fall behind and concentrate more so on the children who succeed. As a parent and as a Psychology major, I know that some children benefit from one-on-one guidance along with the normal learning curriculum. I feel that positive reinforcement in a behaviorally based program will help the struggling children succeed.
