LINCOLN SCHOOL RSSP

Lincoln School RSSP is a public secondary school that is part of the Will ROE school district, located in Joliet, IL with about 23 students offering grade levels from 10th Grade to 11th Grade. With about 4 teachers, Lincoln School RSSP has a student/teacher ratio of about 5:1. 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 **Lincoln School RSSP** (Regional Safe Schools Program), located at 960 Royce Ave in Joliet, Illinois, serves as an alternative educational setting designed for students in grades 6–12 who have been suspended or expelled from their home districts. Administered through the Regional Office of Education (ROE), the program provides a structured environment that focuses on both academic recovery and behavioral modification. By maintaining small class sizes and personalized instruction, the school aims to help students who have struggled in traditional settings stay on track for graduation while addressing the specific challenges that led to their placement.

Beyond its academic curriculum, Lincoln School emphasizes social-emotional learning and restorative practices to prepare students for a successful transition back to their home schools or into post-secondary paths. The program serves as a critical resource for the Joliet community, offering a "second chance" environment where students can earn credits and develop the personal responsibility necessary to succeed. Its presence on Royce Avenue reflects the regional commitment to ensuring that all students, regardless of previous disciplinary history, maintain access to a consistent and supportive education.
