LINCOLN

Lincoln is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Garwood Boro school district, located in GARWOOD, NJ with about 352 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 31 teachers, Lincoln has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Lincoln Elementary School, located at 400 Second Avenue in Garwood, New Jersey, serves as the primary public school for students in prekindergarten through grade five. As a central pillar of the small Garwood Public School District, the school is known for its close-knit community atmosphere and its commitment to fostering academic, social, and emotional growth in a supportive, neighborhood-focused environment.

The school places a strong emphasis on foundational learning, offering a comprehensive curriculum designed to prepare students for the transition to middle school. Beyond core academics, Lincoln Elementary integrates technology into the classroom and provides various extracurricular opportunities that encourage student engagement. By maintaining a relatively small student population, the school is able to promote personalized attention and maintain strong partnerships between educators, students, and local families.
