The Lincoln School is a really nice newer building in the community. My kids love their teachers and the curriculum.

My son attends second grade at the Lincoln. I have been very pleased with the quality of teachers. My son has an IEP and he is receiving quality services.

I have one child currently enrolled in the Lincoln school and we are thrilled with the teaching and facility itself. The children here are well educated and have such a positive attitude about this school! We couldn't be happier!

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Massachusetts used the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) to test students in grades 3 though 8 and 10 in English language arts and math and in grades 5, 8, and 10 in science. The grade 10 MCAS is a high school graduation requirement. The MCAS is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Massachusetts. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
