Lincoln-Marti Charter Schools Hialeah Campus

I am very unhappy with the Charter School of Lincoln Marti. I chose to enroll my son thinking he would get a better education and was let down. The teachers are unprofessional. The assistant principal has no education herself and doesn't even know how to speak to children herself; therefore what can we expect from the teachers. They speak in a very negative, vulgar manner. I, myself have witnessed teachers screaming at other children. I even had a teacher talk bad to me about another child and call the child crazy (very profressional, right?) People who are not on my son's emergency contact have been able to pick him up without me being called, so in other words, not very secure! When I requested something as simple as a weekly progress report, it took 2 semester to start receiving it and I'm still waiting for the counselor to work with my son as I requested in the beginning of the year and we are now in the 4th grading period. To be honest the only one who is competent enough is the actual principal but unfortunately it's only one person vs the whole school. Guaranteed my son will will no longer attend this school as of next year.

It is unfortunate to say that this is another poor school amongst the many in Miami-Dade County. Teachers are unprofessional and incompetent in the English language. If the teachers themselves are not fluent in the language of this country, how can we expect the children of the community to excel? They are teaching their students erroneous information. Therefore, the children attending this school are receiving a low-quality education. It is as if I went to France and attempted to teach in French as an American, who is not fluent in the language. I will not be successful at educating those students without speaking French properly. The same relates to the teachers at this school.

WATCH OUT PARENTS!!!!, very poor curriculum, teachers don't have enough English and none one has passed the board of education required in public school, they are not certified teachers..poor resources and security is minimal .... you never see on television an incident in the schools ..... and occur every day ... but nobody notices because they handled internally as .... in communism .... if a teacher makes a complaint is dismissed the next day ... Parents, please inquire before making a decision!, the public school system has a superintendent, a board and millions of people that regulate the development of our children ... Lincoln Marti Schools is a big fraud.

this school first opened back in 2009 it was absolutely disorganized and the principal was horrible. which is why eventually the principle was fired. upon the new principle entering the school has improved greatly went from a "D" school to an "A" school . the staff is wonderful to the children and I've had 2 emergency situations with my suck child which they handled excellent and the principle was with my child at all times . the main problem is lazy parents who do not bother to be involved in their child's education and do not want to make an effort so they quickly take their kids out however it's become a better school due to ghats working parents and excellent students who care. they also have childcare extra tutoring on campus. it's come a long way and safety is #1 at this school there is always someone on campus. My child went to regular public school and since being here his grades are straight a's and his reading improved 80% because of caring teachers very dedicated !

I gave this school one star because I wasn't allow it give it a ZERO. This is the worst school in the world. The kids run wild at all times. There's no discipline in the classroom, cafeteria or outside. Most of the teachers have accents and do not look very professional. The lunch is horrible, the administration is rude and the curriculum is very poor. It's no wonder this school did so poorly in the FCAT. DO NOT put your child in this school. They will not learn anything and they will fall behind 100% guaranteed!

Lincoln Marti is a very "special" school. This school does not have many of the basic needs that other schools have. They do not have an actual P.E court, they do not have enough books, they are terrible in controlling their students because they are so intolerable. Although, the staff is friendly. The teachers will help you if you don't understand the topic, they will take some time and help you with it. The school also provides tutoring in the morning, on Saturdays, and now even extended the school schedule an extra hour. All this to ensure that the schools passes from a D to at least a C. There is constantly trouble between classes. The principal is almost barely around, unless there is trouble, so a lot. The classes are ok, but not much interesting. Also, if ur children like sports, this isnt the school for them. Although they have a p.e court, the school does not have any teams or even extra-curricular activities. So, this school is good, depending on how much u are willing to sacrifice in order to ensure your child has a good education and a good experience in elementary and/or middle school.

My daughters are learning so much! The teachers are great! My daughters come home everyday learning something new... I love Lincoln - Marti!!
