Lincoln Heights Academy is a Title I public school that is part of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools school district, located in Charlotte, NC with about 90 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 13th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.
