==Education== [[Image:Stevenson High School Lincolnshire IL.JPG|thumb|right|Adlai E. Stevenson High School]] Lincolnshire has two school districts: [[Lincolnshire-Prairie View School District 103]] and [[Stevenson High School (Lincolnshire, Illinois)|Adlai E. Stevenson High School District 125]], although a few students living in the village also attend school in [[Aptakisic-Tripp Community Consolidated School District 102]] in neighboring [[Buffalo Grove, Illinois|Buffalo Grove]].<ref>{{cite web |title=District 102 Boundary Map |url=http://teacherweb.d102.org/d102map2.pdf |year=2008 |work=[[Aptakisic-Tripp Community Consolidated School District 102|Aptakisic-Tripp CCSD 102]] Registration |publisher=[[Aptakisic-Tripp Community Consolidated School District 102]] |access-date=June 13, 2009}} {{Dead link|date=September 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref> District 103, which feeds into District 125, is home to three schools: Laura B. Sprague Elementary School (K-2), Half Day Intermediate School (3β5), and Daniel Wright Junior High School (6β8); District 125 comprises only Adlai E. Stevenson High School. Both are [[State school|public school districts]], funded by the government. Aside from districts 102, 103, and 125, a very small portion of Lincolnshire, located in West Deerfield Township, is served by [[Bannockburn Elementary School District 106|Bannockburn School]] in [[Bannockburn, Illinois]], and ultimately [[Deerfield High School (Illinois)|Deerfield High School]], also in its respective village. [[Image:VAPLD Lincolnshire IL.JPG|thumb|right|The Vernon Area Library, located within Lincolnshire]] The first school to be built in what is now Lincolnshire was Half Day Intermediate School, which initially served all grades for the small town; it was originally a [[one-room school]]house before a major expansion project was undertaken to accommodate the district's increasing population. Numerous changes were made to Half Day School between 1958 and 1965, but it remained too small to receive all prospective students; in 1983, Half Day School was closed, its duties were given to Laura B. Sprague Elementary School and Daniel Wright Junior High School. It was, however, reopened nine years later as Daniel Wright and Laura Sprague began to fill to capacity. Another expansion was added to Laura Sprague and h\Half Day in 2017 to accommodate the increase in students. Grade 6 was also moved to Half Day from Daniel Wright in 2017.<ref name=halfda>{{cite web|url=http://www.halfday.district103.k12.il.us/about+school.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111002083052/http://www.halfday.district103.k12.il.us/about%2Bschool.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=October 2, 2011 |title=About Our School |access-date=August 23, 2008 |work=Lincolnshire-Prairie View School District 103 Webring |publisher=Lincolnshire-Prairie View School District 103 |date=2001β2008 }}</ref> Lincolnshire is also served by a number of non-government-funded educational institutions.
