THE LINC

The Linc is a Title I public high school that is part of the Philadelphia City SD school district, located in Philadelphia, PA with about 258 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th 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 10 teachers, The Linc has a student/teacher ratio of about 25:1. 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.

The school located at 122 W Erie Ave in Philadelphia, historically known as **The Linc** (an abbreviation for "The Lincoln Center"), is an alternative education facility operated by the School District of Philadelphia. It serves as a specialized secondary school designed to provide a supportive, structured environment for students who may have struggled in traditional classroom settings or who require a more individualized approach to completing their graduation requirements.

The Linc is part of the district's alternative education network, which focuses on credit recovery, accelerated learning, and behavioral support. By offering smaller class sizes and personalized attention, the school aims to re-engage students who have fallen behind academically, helping them stay on track toward earning their high school diploma and preparing them for post-secondary success, whether that involves further education, vocational training, or entering the workforce.
