LINCOLN ACADEMY

LINCOLN ACADEMY is a Title I public middle school that is part of the FORREST CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT school district, located in FOREST CITY, AR with about 130 students. 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 11 teachers, LINCOLN ACADEMY 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 ACADEMY, located in Forest City, Arkansas, functions as an alternative educational environment within the Forrest City School District.

By offering a smaller classroom environment and tailored instructional strategies, LINCOLN ACADEMY aims to help students overcome academic or behavioral challenges, keep them on track for graduation, and prepare them for future success beyond high school.

The academy operates with a focus on student-centered growth, emphasizing both credit recovery and the development of essential life skills. By leveraging the resources of the broader Forrest City School District, LINCOLN ACADEMY works to ensure that all students have access to the curriculum and graduation requirements necessary to earn their diplomas.
