My child is in the seventh grade and I would not recommend sending a child to this school. They are not doing any work in some classes and teachers are absent alot. Alot of parents are not happy and they have long term subs as teachers.

I am very disappointed about Lincoln Public Charter School. Despite it moving into a new school facility, it is the same business. Despite the assistant principal doing her best to change the school, the principal fails to promote a solid, positive school environment. There are great teachers working hear but their voices are rarely heard. Despite the potential the school has it fails to remove certain students and people who hinder the academic progress. Thus, the school poor reputation overshadows the increase gains in math. This is why if I could I would rate this school with no stars.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Maryland used the Maryland School Assessment (MSA) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and grades 5 and 8 in science. The MSA is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Maryland. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
