From the people I know who work there it's very much run like a business which obviously schools are a business but no one ever got the impression that the kids best interests were the number one priority. And I know from speaking to past superintendents from public schools they didn't have a lot of patience with the bvp superintendents complaining about the budget they had to work with when public schools had the same budgets but also had to fit in transitional students and preschool students and special needs students, meaning that they had to find a way to make their budget work for kids ranging from ages 3 to 21 and who had special needs unlike bvp. Somehow special needs kids never got chosen in the bvp lottery.

I will admit that Lincoln doesn't have a huge range of diverse students simply because of the population of Lincoln. I will say that I live in a small neighborhood and in my small neighborhood I have a few Indian neighbors and Muslim neighbors who all have kids who go to the Lincoln School System and are quite happy there, all as well as quite a few lgbtq students who have felt safe and welcome in the Lincoln Public School System.
