2006,We have 3 children who have been attending LCS since 2006 and we are so pleased with Lincoln Charter. Our oldest graduated in 2019 and is now attending UNC Wilmington's nursing program. My daughter called me the other day and said, Mom, thank you so much for making me attend LCS. I feel so much more prepared for my college classes than a lot of my fellow students. We currently have a child in 7th grade and one in 9th grade, and we can't say enough good things about LCS.

Bad Adminstration!!!! They get rid of great teachers with no valid reason given. If they aren't inthe adminstration's click they are gone. It is sad that great teachers are let go and subpar teachers are kept becuase the adminstration lays off teachers based on their buddy system. I've seen it happen many times over the years and talk to a majority of the parents and they know it too!
