Lincoln Elementary School is a neighborhood school in Lincoln Park that serves nearly 1,000 students in kindergarten through eighth grade.
The school provides a curriculum that integrates traditional academic offerings with arts, international languages and other classes in the humanities. Upper grade students can participate in the Abraham Lincoln Elementary School Music Association (ALESMA) that includes a concert band, percussion ensemble and a jazz ensemble. ALESMA is a not-for-profit run by volunteers and, although it is funded through tuition and fees, the organization does offer scholarships based on financial need.
Other special programs offered at Lincoln Elementary include its world language program and the Chicago Systemic Initiative for Math, Science & Technology.
The staff of 65 include special education teachers, a speech-language pathologist, a school psychologist and a school nurse.
Academic standards are quite high, as Lincoln Elementary students on average greatly outperform their peers on standardized testing.
Lincoln Elementary partners with the Jewish Community Center to provide three tuition-based before and after school programs, including enrichment classes. The school also offers a selection of sports including soccer, volleyball, basketball, track and field, golf and tennis.

I have been going to Lincoln since kindergarten. The teachers are amazing and it is such a fun community to be a part of. There are many different celebrations. The teachers are very kind and supportive. The extra-curricular programs are really fun. Lincoln is an amazing school.
