Welcome to the Lincoln Park School District. We are a medium-sized school district comprised of a pre-K through fourth grade school and a middle school serving fifth through eighth grade students. The Lincoln Park School District offers a safe, student-centered atmosphere with an excellent, up-to-date curriculum and many student services. In addition to small class sizes, we provide varying extra curricular activities and athletic teams, all which optimize the learning environment. The district possesses an enthusiastic and motivated staff who work together to maintain an environment conducive to academic excellence. Emphasis is placed on continual growth and development, and the Lincoln Park School District faculty takes advantage of many professional development opportunities, including workshops, seminars, conferences, and graduate courses. Many of our teachers have received advanced degrees in the educational field. They consistently look for strategies and new instructional methodology to better meet the needs of each and every unique child in the district. These staff members provide a quality education in a safe and supportive environment. The Board of Education (BOE) is committed to hiring the highest quality educators and providing the teaching staff with the equipment and materials needed to perform their jobs at the highest level. The BOE also provides the support needed to ensure that the students receive a quality education while helping them to become successful adults. Each year the BOE attempts to make improvements to the academic programs, as well as to the physical components of the schools. The district is again focusing on improving the technology that is available to the students and staff. The LPES computer lab will receive new computers this year, and the LPMS computer lab was updated last year. The district has also purchased ten new interactive white boards that will be available in both schools. In addition to technology, the students will return to a new math textbook series, which will connect with the new math curriculum that is being finalized at the State level. All of this will assist the district in helping the students reach their full potential. We are also excited to put the final touches on all of the construction projects that have been performed over the last two years. During the summer of 2009, the Lincoln Park School District completed the final project from the 2.14 million dollar referendum that was approved by the Lincoln Park Community in 2007. The final project, which was the improvement of the LPMS athletic fields, was completed this past August. The fields will not be usable for a full year as they establish, but in the future the students will have improved and safe athletic fields to perform on. The following is a list of the other referendum projects that were completed: New boiler (LPMS) The Lincoln Park School District provides a rewarding learning environment within a positive, loyal community. We are proud of our students, staff, and our community. Lincoln Park’s success is a direct result of students, staff, and parents working together. The Parent Teacher Organization plays a vital role in the success of the school district. I strongly encourage you to become an active member of the PTO. We are fortunate to have a very supportive community. Please continue to visit us and our website and watch us grow.

The Lincoln Park School District completed the NJ Department of Education’s comprehensive monitoring (NJQSAC) in December 2008. We are proud to report that we received the designation of “A High Performing District.” This is the highest rating a district can receive. The rating is good for three years, when the district will repeat the monitoring process.
