Lincoln School is an elementary school of approximately 400 students. It is located in the center of town. The entire building and grounds underwent major renovations in 2003. Many original features were preserved resulting in a kid-friendly and architecturally rich environment.
As stated in our improvement plan, childhood is valued at Lincoln School. We strive to structure a curriculum that encourages academic excellence while honoring each student's unique profile and contributions. Through collaboration, professional development, and reflective practices, our staff provides meaningful learning experiences based on the common core standards. Through our Code of Respect, The RULER approach, school motto, and behavioral policies, Lincoln School also strives to embody a culture of respect. Students, staff, and parents work together to promote respect for all members of our community, respect for our property, and self-respect. Initiatives such as Growing Up and Reaching Out, and the Annual Food Drive reflect our efforts to demonstrate respect for people outside of our own community.
The Lincoln School Parent Association, to which all of our parents belong, provides financial backing for curriculum programs, supplies, and enrichment activities such as Authorfest and Mentor Night. They give countless hours of volunteering in the classroom, in the library, and at events. Most importantly, they send us delightful children who are eager to learn because their families value education.
We hope that you visit our website and our district website to stay informed of all that is happening at Lincoln School and throughout the Winchester Public Schools.

The Massachusetts Consortium for Innovative Education Assessment (MCIEA) is a partnership of seven public school districts and their local teacher unions, joined together to create a fair and effective accountability system that offers a more dynamic picture of student learning and school quality than a single standardized test.
The MCIEA school quality framework – derived from a combination of empirical findings, public polling, and focus groups with local stakeholders – is comprised of five categories: three inputs (Teachers and Leadership, School Culture, and Resources) and two outcomes (Academic Learning and Community and Well-Being).

RULER is our district-approved social-emotional learning program.
