This school is one of the best I have seen in several states! Smaller class sizes, and individual attention to the children, makes me LOVE MY CHILDREN TO ATTEND LINCOLN!

Our twins went to kindergarten here and both excelled. The teachers were wonderful and very invested in the children. I cannot praise this school enough. We just moved to Dallas and are truly missing this wonderful school as the ones here are awful. I didn't know how lucky we were.

The staff is great with the kids but quite a few things worry me. I do everything when it comes to my childrens school appts and events. So when my husband who has not yet met any teachers or staff was able to walk on to the playground full of children and walk into the building without being stopped by any teacher it worried me. It was also the same day my husband picked our son up before school was out, and didn't sign him out or show ID. The security and well being of my children at that school is very unstable. I really don't feel I can trust them with my kids safety . Also the school meals that they serve are so small my sons teacher is taking money out of her own pocket to provide her students with snacks before lunch. Theres more but no room

I really like this school, My kids seem to get along with the facility very well. they are really good about working with kids one on one when it is needed. The neighborhood that the school is in is very safe and a great place to be. All the teachers work well with the kids even though the class sizes are of a medium size (about 20) As a parent I would recommend this school.

both of my sons went to this elementary school, Tyler started out in the third grade, tanner started at kindergarten. i have nothing but praise for the administration and teaching staff...along with all the other employees and volunteers of lincoln. thank you so much for being there and teaching my sons all things. Tyler still currently holds a 4.0 average in h.s. and is on the honor roll. tanner made the honor roll at his middle school!

About the tests

In 2011-2012 Washington used the Measurements of Student Progress (MSP) to test students in reading and math in grades 3 through 8, in writing in grades 4 and 7, and in science in grades 5 and 8. The MSP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Washington. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
