Niche Grade
A public school serving prekindergarten through sixth grade, Abraham Lincoln Elementary School sees around 800 students pass through its classrooms yearly. The school utilizes Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) to ensure student success. PLCs foster collaboration between educators and encourage the sharing of best practices. The school no longer uses letter grades. Instead, it employs something called Standards Based Practices that set specific learning targets. This helps students know where to improve and allows faculty to see where a child has been academically and where they are headed. The school employs a mix of specialized faculty members, including classroom interventionists, a psychologist and a social worker. These staff help ensure the school meets all students' academic, social and emotional needs. For students who primarily speak Spanish, Lincoln Elementary has bilingual educators they can benefit from. A reading and math club, service club and the National Honor Society are among the extracurricular activities offered at the school. Fifth and sixth graders are able to be a part of intramural sports.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

0 stars if possible COVID is not a big deal to them according to Lincoln they can not catch it outside and COVID is non existent as long as they continue creating revenue for the school. Money is the only thing on their mind. Kids health doesn’t matter money does.
