Lincoln Charter school has fostered my growth for the past 12 years. I started in Kindergarten and stayed with this school all the way until I graduate. I have seen it grow and persevere through hardships. The past 2 years have been so fun, and our administration is getting better. I would like to see better teachers here though, as these classes are very easy.
