Lincoln Charter School

The mission of Lincoln Charter School is to facilitate the development of college ready individuals through emphasis on rigorous academics and our community expectations: honesty, respect, empathy, responsibility, service and preparedness. Lincoln Charter's Class of 2020 cohort graduation rate was almost 100%. These graduates accumulated over 625 acceptances, were offered over $13.8 million in merit aid, logged over 18,000 service hours during their time at Lincoln Charter and more than 1 in 10 are entering post-secondary studies as first-generation college students. Lincoln Charter is the largest brick and mortar charter school in NC with campuses in Lincolnton and Denver serving over 2,200 K-12 students during the 2020-2021 school year. The Lincolnton campus is currently under construction. Once completed, this project will add over 50 new classrooms and complete over 80,000 sq/ft of new buildings.
