My daughter attended Kindergarten w/ Mrs. Konishi and Ms. Houske sch yr 2008-2009. She had such a great time, she enjoyed both teachers. I was concerned since they both worked part time, that it would create some type of confusion having two different teachers. but she did )really well and they (Teachers) were very dedicated and gave the class their all.
My son attended the Preppy K program (although this was not his home school) and I was very impressed. The Preppy program run by Mrs. King is absolutely excellent!
I am very pleased with Lincoln Elementary. The teachers, teacher's assistants, playground assistants and principal are all very involved and diligent in their interest in the school and students. The 'Preppy Kindergarten' curriculum is excellent.
While the academic programs are rigorous and result in high test scores, they are very focused on test preparation and rote learning (such as memorization), versus creative assignments that involve more critical thinking and collaboration. Some instructors do incorporate interesting assignments and are caring and supportive. However, students complete volumes of work sheets per week and have very little opportunity for creative work. They are told what to do specifically, learning to follow directions but not to become active critical thinkers. They can test well, but testing doesn't encourage their ability to think, express, or create. Very little art and music are incorporated into the curricullum. The music teacher was laid off last year. Parent volunteers bring the only art instruction to the school, and it is mostly crafts, not art. Class size in the upper grades is high (around 30). Bullying occurs without much intervention from school officials.
