Lincoln Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-10-04 “This is our 8th and final year at Lincoln (2 kids from k-5) and it's been a great experience. I would certainly recommend this school to any parents considering it. The class sizes are generally below average and we've found the principal and teachers to be very engaged and easy to talk to. The teachers are in tune with each other so the programs are coordinated from one level to the next - the kids are prepared. The PTA is well run and I recommend getting involved. No matter where you end up, there's a good chance you'll find things thatyou think are not perfect - at Lincoln you will be heard and they will work with you to get your kids where they need to be.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2008-01-15 “The community of teachers, staff, parents, and students is fabulous and, in my experience, supportive and inclusive. My son is involved in two after-school activities, sponsored by the PTA, and loves them. My son has some minor special needs and has never been teased or ridiculed for them, which is worth its weight in gold to a parent. Both teachers we've had have worked with us, and with understanding, to meet my son's needs and to challenge him at the same tim.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2007-07-06 “It is a shame that the heritage of the arts that Lincoln Elementary has brought to the Evanston community, and the world beyond is falling so quickly. The school has lost many wonderfully gifted teachers, and has been replacing quickly them with little consideration of the lasting impact that high teacher/ student turn over rate affects the education of the students, the families, the staff moral within the school, nor for the community. Not necessarily the individual school's fault, but the district office. Lincoln has had many great actors and musicians pass through its doors, and I only hope that HQ can find a way to bring back the arts without any political agendas attached, so that we can have more Cusack s, and Piven s come out of Lincoln. Time will only tell. But we can not afford to wait any longer to see what fate holds for the area.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-02-01 “The kindergarten program was very poor. we had a teacher who was just not appropriate for an early childhood classroom. Furthermore, I saw very little best practices of early childhood being followed. Thankfully, we had a wonderful first grade teacher. After we suffered through kindergarten, it was a great place.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-06-10 “My son just granduated from Lincoln School.He was there k-5, except for 4th grade where he was at Orrington.We liked Lincoln School population and staff much better.My son had an IEP and got amazing support from Mrs. Joseph.His language arts skills are way above grade level now.His teachers really worked hard with him on his focusing/ADD issues.They did many awesome projects and field trips, and the kids were really encouraged to stretch beyond what they thought their capacity was.I don't like their math program but that is statewide.He has health issues and the nurse gave him individulalized attention when he needed it.Negatives were:The lunch room situation was very chaotic.I hear it is getting better.And sometimes we were very overwhelmed by the homework load. My son felt like Lincoln was 'his place' all the way down to the janitors. We'll miss the place.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2006-05-19 “This School has poor academic programs. It's after Extended day program is awfull. extracuricular activities have been limited over the years. No sports programs for younger kids. if parents choose to place their kids in this school they should be very careful. This school is bused for itegration which is very bad.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2005-09-19 “Teachers are very caring. We had one in 3rd grade who was particularly strong in teaching math. They also loved reading. Unfortauntely, the spelling curriculum was non-existant. The music teacher when we arrived was superb, using Orff on a regular basis, but has since changed. I'm not a fan of the U of Chicago math curriculum, but it seems it's everywhere now.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 4 2004-04-05 “Actually I'm not a parent, I'm alumni. I went there in the early 90's, so i don't think too much has changed. There is still some teachers I know that work there. I recomend it for it's great encouragement of the arts. (and I think most of the art teachers I had are still there). We went through 3 principals when I went there, so I'll pick the one that was there though most of my education, Mrs. Stringer I beleave was her name.”
