District Profile

The Town of Lincoln is a rural suburb located approximately 12 miles west of Boston. Established in 1754, the town recently celebrated its historic 250th Anniversary. Lincoln has a rich history dating to the Revolutionary period of our country‘s history and has maintained many of its early characteristics and traditions. The community places a high value on public education, open space, diversity and community involvement. The current population of the town is approximately 7,000.
 

The Lincoln School Committee is responsible for preschool to grade 8 educational programs at the Lincoln School which serves approximately 550 students. Lincoln School is one of the initial member schools in the METCO Program, a voluntary desegregation program that provides an opportunity for students from Boston to enroll in suburban school districts. In addition to the Lincoln School, the district operates the Hanscom School at Hanscom Air Force Base through a contract with the federal government. Approximately 550 students attend the Hanscom School. 
 

Lincoln has a long tradition of educational excellence and strives to offer-innovative student-centered instruction in an inclusive setting with small class sizes. Parents and community members are very supportive of the school and demonstrate this through their active participation in the PTO (Lincoln), PTO (Hanscom), the Lincoln School Foundation, the METCO parent board, and the METCO Coordinating Committee, and school-based volunteer programs.
 

Faculty members are supported through a rich and varied professional development program, a tuition reimbursement program for graduate studies and a teacher mentor program. The District employs approximately 150 licensed and highly qualified professional staff (classroom teachers, special subject teachers and therapists along with instructional assistants, special education tutors and support staff).

A central administrative staff, headed by the Superintendent of Schools, Parry Graham, leads the operation of the District. The Lincoln School Committee consists of five Lincoln residents, elected to three-year terms and a representative from the Hanscom Air Force Base and a METCO representative, who is selected by parents of Boston resident children who attend the Lincoln School.
