We are a Top 20 School!

As a Top 20 school, Lincoln Elementary is intentionally implementing TOP 20 principles and practices in order to activate the human development of students, staff, and parents. The principles and practices that are implemented develop Social-Emotional Learning in all members of the school community enabling them to THINK, LEARN, and COMMUNICATE more effectively. By doing so, we are able to make a positive difference in the lives, relationships, and experiences of others and ourselves.

Lincoln Elementary is HRS Level 4 Certified school which means we have met the criteria that focuses on standards-based reporting.  Achieving this level signifies that our school has established a robust system for monitoring and reporting student progress, ensuring that every student has the support they need to achieve academic success.  The high reliability school (HRS) program was created by Marzano Resources to help transform schools into organizations that take proactive steps to ensure student success. Using a research-based five-level hierarchy, along with leading and lagging indicators, educators learn to assess, monitor, and confirm the effectiveness of their schools.  This framework, based on 50 years of educational research, defines five progressive levels of performance that a school must master to become an HRS—where all students learn the content and skills they need for success in college, careers, and beyond.
