The Linc

The Linc sits in North Philadelphia, a dense urban neighborhood with deep roots and a community that's navigating real challenges — and that context shapes the experience here. Families choosing this school are often doing so out of proximity and circumstance rather than selectivity, and academically the school faces significant headwinds, with scores placing it among the lower-performing schools in Pennsylvania. That said, Philadelphia's public school communities are often tight-knit and resilient, and families who get involved tend to find ways to make it work for their kids.
