Teachers are always there to help students. Even though some teacher doesn't have the patience to help. I'm happy I never had a teacher like that.

My time at lincoln, though it was short, it was a true experience. Through faculty, and my peers I found what I believe is my true calling in my life. Staff like Mr. Fanning, Mrs. Larubio, Mr. Brathwaite, and many more helped me in ways I couldn't even put to words.

My experience with Abraham Lincoln high school has been mostly positive overall. The high school would be a much better environment if there were better facilities such as cleaner restrooms and more lockers, also food could improve and more college prep to encourage students to attend college

This school is so terrible they only focus on the football and basket ball teams not subjects or new books or anything of that sort. The teachers are very unexperienced and have no control over the classroom. The kids there are ruthless fights all the time as well as bullying. The only thing is good...
