I love the school!!! The teachers are so nice, kind, sweet, and loving, especially the principal Mrs. Johnson! She treats the kids how she would treat her own! I absolutely love that I put my child into this school!

The school is great for my child with a great education and a caring staff! The principal, Mrs. Johnson made my day just meeting her and knowing that having my kid in that atmosphere makes me feel 100x more comfortable!

I went to Lincoln a few years back, and I know next to nothing about the students and teachers there now, but when I went there it was full of backstabbing, hurt-inflicting (emotionally and physically) kids and teachers who didn't care even when the child was hurt. The school was suppose to call the police on more than one occasion because of what happened to me there, but didn't due to reputation. There probably are a few good, nice students attending Licoln or caring teachers at the moment, but most likely there are more who will turn on you for no reason, like they did to me. I will not go into detail about the danger and mocking I was put through, but it is probably in your best interest to find a school that cares more for your child(ren)'s well-being from both student and staff, than a school like Lincoln elementary school, who only cares for its image or rep. It may have changed since a few years ago, and is now more respectable, but I doubt that much has changed.
