What a disappointment this school is. The administration for the most part do not care about supporting students and setting them up for success. There are a few shining stars that are the exception but unless you are a major donor or your kids are boarding $tudents do not expect to be treated like anything other than a number. The kids are shuttled from class to class with no time to socialize or build those important skills and form a community. The result is a cliquey culture full of bullies. The school turns a blind eye to kids who are vaping and doing drugs in the bathrooms. Teachers do not communicate with parents and unless you lawyer up and come in full Karen mode do not expect the school to honor a 504 or support kids who arent normies. The school class offerings look amazing but dont expect your kid to get into any of those cool classes. This is a school that will teach your kids to conform and to hate school. If you want to raise life long learners or have a child with solid mental health do not send them here.

Lets get our priorities straight here. Theres no denying that a school is measured by there marching band. Not test scores, class size, safety, sports, etc. this low-budget federal doesnt even have one. This is blasphemy!

This school is completely full of bullys. In both the student body and the staff, especially the administration. The administrators have absolutely no idea what they are doing and they bully around the teachers, who are overworked and stressed which makes them grumpy and rude. Then the students are all cruel and mean, and when you report bullying the administrators tell you to just deal with it yourself. This is a terrible school.

Both of my children recently attended Lincoln Academy and had excellent experiences. The faculty is committed and the students are accepting.

Lincoln Academy is a place where learning is fostered every minute of every day. The people surrounding you help you grow and relationships are strong and forged fast. Over the course of many years I've had the chance to attend a lot of well-known and supposedly good schools, but the Lincoln education was the best of all of them. It's really the teachers that make the school special, particularly the ones who are legends for changing your life. The best ones teach you skills that will win you competitions for years to come while pushing you to grow.

There is no place like Lincoln Academy. It's hard for me to describe my experience in a short comment but if you are thinking of applying to Lincoln Academy, choose Exeter. This school is unmatched in the quality of faculty, facilities, academics, and even food, although some of my classmates may argue otherwise. I want to go to a top university in the US and this school is equipped with resources and support for everyone to make their dreams come true

Both of my children attend Lincoln Academy and have had a wonderful experience. The population size is perfect, not too big and not too small, and both are thriving in small classrooms. Because it is an independent school serving a public population in the traditional town academy format, there is a broad demographic of students served. This keeps the community real, with diverse political and socioeconomic backgrounds informing teaching and community discussions. There is a strong performing arts program that has given my children an opportunity to excel in plays and musical performances. There is also a vibrant sports program that allows students to try different sports at all levels, including varsity. The debate and math teams have built confidence at all levels. Finally, the small boarding program adds so much to the character of the community and has really brought the world to my kids.

I've only been at Lincoln Academy for 2 years but I really wish my time with them could have been so much longer. The teachers and the staff are all so lovely and attentive to the students as well as very good at what they do. The students here are incredibly respectful, kind, and mature. Studying here has really opened up many opportunities and changed what I thought was possible for myself.
