Lincolnwood Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2009-05-27 “I have 2 children at Lincolnwood and we have been very pleased with the quality of the programs, the teachers and the principal. I've alway felt the teachers know my children and care about them. The principal has always been responsive to me with big or small issues. It's not perfect, but I know they spend a lot of time working on any issues that come up, be it lunch room problem or parking lot logistics.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2009-02-17 “My child is attending Lincolnwood and this is her 2nd year. We are so sad that it's going to be her last. This school really does care about the children and their needs.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-12-08 “I went to licolnwood. I loved it there. the principal delt with my bully problems quickly and fairly, and all the teachers and classes there are great!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-05-17 “Our two children could not have had a better experience in elementary school. The teachers are wonderful (with only one or two exceptions) and really care about reaching the full potential of the diverse community of learners. Academically, my children have excelled and the curriculum seems solid. The PTA is an outstanding group of parents, and although some parents in other reviews criticize it as being 'not inclusive', my experience has been that if you would like to get involved, you are encouraged and welcome to do so. There are many ways to get involved, from tutoring to volunteering at events, and people should stop complaining and start volunteering.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2008-01-14 “I've encountered mostly good teachers at Lincolnwood and a few who were not-so-good. The principal seems somewhat removed and, like many of her peers, seems far too concerned with test scores. There's an active PTA, which makes many positive contributions, but it not open to criticism so the status-quo lives on. Getting special services has been problematic. Another issue is its lunch program: Children are rushed through the lunchroom, they're constantly told to be quiet and cartoon videos are shown on when the weather is bad and the kids can't play outside.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-12-09 “Good school, the only drawback is the local parents who are insufferable. they should get out of the way and let the school operate on its own.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2006-09-19 “Some teachers / teams are strong. Some are not so strong. If your child is bright, our experience in 2nd and 3rd grade has been that they won't recieve the challenge they need. The school cares too much about controlling and quieting the environment and not enough about making the educational process engaging. The PTA is a place to make a positive contribution, but does not welcome critical conversation, so it's difficult to raise concerns. We are very ambiguous about our experience at Lincolnwood. We find things like sticking on Tom and Jerry videos on a rainy day for recess unacceptable, but can't seem to get it changed. Plus, there are so many rules like no running on the woodchips in the playground - or, only quiet talking at lunch. 'Only Plants Grow Quietly'. At Lincolnwood, they want the kids to grow quietly too.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2006-09-13 “The quality of the academic programs are above average. The availability of music, art, and sports is also above average. The Special-Ed Teachers have been fantastic, and the Principal very responsive. The only major thing that ruins this school is the total lack of inclusion by the PTA. Yet,the PTA wonders why more parents do not get involved. So next year we are moving to a friendlier school!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-06-13 “I think Lincolnwood School is a good school, though it could be better. Emphasis does need to be placed on including all children equally. Also, don't rely too heavily on their school website for pertinent information as it is not updated frequently. However,if these criteria were to be achieved, Lincolnwood school would be a great school overall.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2006-01-06 “There is no climate of inclusion for children with special needs, either behavioral or gifted. Run as fast as you can if your child is not typical.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-08-29 “Excellent in the lower grades. The teachers are strong and have good rapport with each other. 3rd - 5th have some strong and some weak teachers. Gym, music, library and art are all great. My children love them. Very active PTA.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-05-19 “I feel compelled to respond to a negative review I recently read in this section. As always, every school has disgruntled parents. My experience could not be more different. Every day at drop-off & pick-up (while the kids play in the terrific playpark & grounds), I talk with other parents who love Lincolnwood as I do & would not dream of sending their children anywhere else. This community is strong & devoted to our school. Our children learn in a diverse, supportive & stimulating environment. The curriculum is strong & most teachers are excellent. Just one example: The first grade is learning about famous artists & the walls are filled with their own versions of Monet, VanGogh, DaVinci & more. I love this school & would recommend it whole-heartedly.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-05-15 “My child is in first grade at Lincolnwood elementary and has had a great experience. The teachers are challenged by a diverse student body and they rise to the challenge amazingly well. The curriculum is well developed and enrichment is offered to kids who excel in various subjects. A very involved PTA adds to the number of acitivities available and the sense of community at the school. I would rank the opportunity to go to a great community school far above going to a private school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-05-14 “Kindergarten & 1st grade teachers are excellent (I can't speak for the higher grades, yet). They love their students & are dedicated to their success. The community makes the school even stronger. Families are proud to send their kids here & the PTA is involved & active. There are many after-school clubs (Art, Spanish, Chess & more) with partial scholarships & busing. PTA & staff try to give every child the opportunity to particpate. I think LW had a rough year before we arrived and I expect test scores to keep improving in the years to come. LW is working hard to make the Evanston diversity model work.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-05-13 “We have been VERY happy at Lincolnwood school. The teachers are first-rate. They are dedicated and provide the extra-support and/or enrichment needed to meet the individual needs of each child. The school is welcoming to parent involvement and the communtiy could not be more supportive and diverse!”
