Lincoln Elementary School

Welcome to Lincoln K-8, a vibrant and close-knit learning community where students grow from kindergarten through 8th grade. By spanning nine grades in a single "small-school" setting, we foster deep mentorship, lasting friendships, and a seamless transition from elementary to middle school. At Lincoln, we partner with families to provide personalized support, ensuring that every student develops the knowledge, independence, and resilience to make a significant impact on the world.

We offer a unique educational journey that prioritizes stability, hands-on discovery, and a community built on trust.

• The K-8 Advantage: As the only K-8 school in Rochester, we offer a stable environment where students don't have to worry about the "big move" to a new building for middle school. Our older students take pride in being role models for the younger children, creating a safe, family-like atmosphere. This continuity allows teachers to truly know your child’s strengths over many years, helping them stay on a fulfilling path.
• Nationally recognized, hands-on learning: Lincoln is a 2022 National Blue Ribbon School, a title given only to the top-performing schools in the country. We believe children learn best by doing. From kindergarten through 8th grade, our students dive into hands-on projects that challenge them to think creatively and solve real-world problems. This approach builds the confidence they need to tackle complex subjects in high school and beyond.
• A community built on trust: Lincoln is a place where those who know the school best trust it the most. In fact, 38% of our staff choose to send their own children to Lincoln. With a 50-year history of excellence and a highly active PTSA, we ensure that every family feels a deep sense of belonging and connection.
