Lincoln, Massachusetts
Lincoln is a residential suburb located 12 miles northwest of Boston. Established in 1754, the town has a rich history dating to our country's Revolutionary period 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 school system has a well-earned reputation for educational excellence, offering innovative, student-centered instruction in an inclusive setting with small class sizes. The district serves students PreK-8 at two schools: the PreK-8 Lincoln School, which serves Lincoln-resident families, Boston-resident families participating in the METCO program, and the children of staff members; and the PreK-8 Hanscom School, which serves military families living on the Hanscom Air Force Base.
