This is for Cleveland parents who've started wondering if there's something better. Your child isn't falling short because they can't handle the work. They're falling short because the school they're in hasn't figured out how to actually move them forward. Lincoln Park Academy is a public charter school in Cleveland serving students from kindergarten through 8th grade. Ohio's report card gave the school 5 Stars for Progress and 5 Stars for Gap Closing. The school's Performance Index grew from 59.4 to 68.1 in a single year, a 15 percent increase.

It takes about 60 seconds.

Your child's teacher knows their name and their work.

When there are fewer students in the room, a teacher can see when your child is stuck, not at test time but on a Tuesday afternoon. That's when the help happens.

Instruction that adjusts to your child, not the other way around.

Every student gets taught at the level they're actually at. If your child's behind, they get caught up. If they're ahead, they get pushed. Nobody waits for the slowest student in the room.

Progress tracked and reported. Not guessed.

The school measures how much each student grows every year. That's not the same as measuring where they rank. Growth means your child moves forward. Every child, every year.

Your child gets noticed for trying, not just performing.

The school runs a daily recognition program. If your child shows up, does the work, and pushes through the hard part, they hear about it. Not just at the end of the year. Every day.

It's a publicly funded school. Ohio pays for it. Cleveland families use it. And the thing it's building — a K-8 community where children are known by name, held to a real standard, and developed as whole people — that doesn't cost a dollar more.
“I love Lincoln Park Academy. My son had trouble adjusting to other schools, but at LPA he has grown and learned so much. Lincoln Park truly cares about the students and their education. The staff is approachable, and they take student safety very seriously. All of my children will go to Lincoln Park, and I would recommend LPA to anyone. Ms. Smith is the best teacher ever, and I couldn’t be happier with my son’s kindergarten experience.”
