Lincoln No. 3 Elementary School

This school has overfilled classrooms, unprepared teachers and staff. There is no recess and children are expected to sit quietly through lunch. The school aims to make teachers happy, less work for the staff and impossible for parents to get involved. There are teachers who bribe and praise by giving children candy. There aren't enough classrooms so they built a trailer in which they stuff some more kids. There is not enough room so children have their arts and music teachers travel to their classrooms. Our first grader has learned one thing: "how many days until the weekend?" and " oh... it's Sunday... I have school tomorrow:-(" Please, do not move to this town for your child's sake. We are moving out.

Lincoln School is extremely over crowded. The classroom sizes have grown over the past few years & sadly the school has not! I am not happy with the students being confined to the same classroom for their specials such as art & music; not to mention they eat lunch in the classroom also. The gym being shared with another class that is having gym at the same time. Library? Whats school does not have a library? How productive can this be for these students & teachers? I believe there are great teachers in this school! Its just too packed. Something should be done about this situation!

This school is good especially Principal Mrs.Bosch and Vice Principal Mr.O are very cooperative and willing to work with u sadly same cannot be said about the teachers. The teachers here don't teach anything out side of the box, they rush through curriculum without making sure children understands it . They don't have any extracurricular activities and enrichment program is also not very good.

This is my daughters 3rd year at Lincoln. Vice Principal (Mr. O) is terrific - stern but fair. Most of the teachers are top quality (Mrs. Natalini - 2nd grade - is nothing short of incredible). The children for the most part are well behaved and try hard. Very culturally diverse school - which we prefer. There are no extracurricular activities that work around working parents schedules - which unfortunately leaves my daughter with nothing but Girl Scouts. Overall Lincoln is a good school. I think with an afterschool program and some extracurricular activities that work for the 'real world' that have the potential to be great.

The school is pretty good but I do not see them being ready and willing to accomodate children with disabilities without the child's parents being present which defeats the purpose.

This school has progressed quite well over the past few years. They have hired new and innovative teachers and have made great strides in their instructional techniques.
