Wonderful school. Good curriculum, extra help after school for the kids who need it. Voluntary NJASK test prep 2 days a week starting in January(which most kids take advantage of), I really appreciate this because test prep after school means less test prep during school hours. The staff is caring, very willing to work with you. My 2 children have excelled in this environment. One of my children is in middle school now and has transitioned seamlessly. Lincoln School has prepared my children well of the future.

Lincoln is a great school, the teachers, principal and other staff are excellent with the kids. The curriculum is probably better than a lot of other schools in the area but they need to consider having a program for advanced readers in the earlier grades and more homework. The before/afterschool program housed there ,although not run by the school, is decent for the price but it needs improvement with regard to the staff . But overall, the school is really good.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 New Jersey used the New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge (NJ ASK) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in language arts literacy and math, and in grades 4 and 8 in science. The NJ ASK is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of New Jersey. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
