I went here as a teenager and dealt with severe bullying, and then my friends son, 20 years later had the same experience. This is not a safe school for kids to attend.

We're lucky if we get one good teacher a semester. They spend too much time going to Costa Rica, COpack and building gardens when the kids here need to be taught have after school homework clubs, access to books and solid teachers that care about the specific community at Lincoln.

I hate picking up my kids here. Hear cussing, see fights, bullying out of control and ignored. Kids don't respect the school, its property or kids wo aren't in their group.

Long line of ineffective leaders. Don't take responsibility for the failures of their school. Spend more time coddling and praising white students then they do with minorities who are the majority (50%+) at this school.

They do the BARE minimum. Kids could excel if teachers actually though it was their job to teach them. They teach to the top students so ones in the middle or below are left behind. Tests scores prove that no matter what excuses they make up.

Not at all. Many of the kids that bully are the kids teachers and administrators support. What goes on in the bathrooms is horrific. Kids aren't safe here and have to adapt. No excuse for this. Thinl hard about what is fair and expected in a child's education and school and then don't accept anything less. Don't let the "white" administration bully you. They take care of their own.

WE save all our money so we can get out of here. EVERY child deserves more than this!!!!!!!! Choice out. Don't let the IB fool you...it is a very substandard, low performing school...check their statistics and where they are this year in the rankings. They are so far behind, can't even take computers home (all other schools do), just now got the "idea" of student-led conferences (our kids have been doing then since 1st grade). Don't let your kid be a guinea pig here. If they want to go to college you will have to teach them at home and they will have to work 3x as hard to get there because they don't get the skills they need. Care about your child's future!!

You can't even figure out if they have homework .Teachers are disorganized and can't be bothered to answer an email or a phone message. They have access to google drive but don't use it effectively to post information, homework or communicate. Most of the time homework is not counted which leads to even more problems....not helping the student grow or become a better learner.

Every student at Lincoln is treated with respect and kindness. There are paraprofessionals available to help student with learning difference be successful.

Bullying is taken very seriously at Lincoln. The school has many tools and staff available. Students at this school do not condone bullying.

The teachers and administrative staff care so much about the students at this school. They know each and every kid on a first name basis. They want to help kids be successful learners and grow as individuals. My daughter has a great relationship with all her teachers. They effectively communication with parents as well.

10/10 - Lincoln Middle is a great place for your middle school to learn and grow academically and socially!

The teachers at Lincoln are phenomenal! They care about the students in their classroom and work with each student to make sure they are successful. If students score poorly on a homework assignment the student can re-do the assignment for a better grade. I like this because sometimes you have to fail to learn.

Haven't dealt with any teachers directly, but a teacher has used curse words directed at our 6th grader

We have been lied to on multiple occasions by administrators at Lincoln.

Teachers and administrators have actively bullied our son, and allowed bullying to occur. Even as far as suspending our son because he was bullied.
