The Lincoln School District operates public schools to serve residents of Lincoln, Massachusetts and military dependent children who reside at Hanscom Air Force Base in grades kindergarten through eight. The Lincoln School also enrolls minority students living in Boston under the METCO program, a voluntary desegregation program, in order to increase the diversity of the student body. In addition to the K-8 schools, the district also provides pre-school education for students eligible for special education services under Massachusetts state law or who pay a tuition to attend the preschool program. The school programs are run from two campus facilities: a Lincoln campus with the Lincoln School and the Preschool Childhood programs, and a Hanscom campus located on the Air Force Base for the schools serving military dependent children residing on the Base.
The guiding purpose of the Lincoln schools is to provide a high quality learning experience that enables all students to access a broad program of studies that includes core academic subjects as well as other areas key to creative, well-being, social, and emotional growth. The schools are located at two campuses. The Lincoln campus houses the Lincoln School, which is organized into two units; one for grades kindergarten through grade four and one for grades five through eight. Also on the Lincoln campus, in the Hartwell Building, is the Central Office and the Preschool Program. The Hanscom campus houses the Hanscom Primary School for students in kindergarten through grade three and the Hanscom Middle School for students in grades four through eight. The overall enrollment in the Lincoln School District is approximately 1400 students. 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, Mickey Brandmeyer, leads the operation of the District. The Lincoln School Committee consists of five Lincoln residents, elected to three-year terms and representatives from Hanscom Air Force Base (two who are appointed by the Wing Commander) and a METCO representative, who is elected by parents of Boston resident children who attend the Lincoln School.
