In addition, students can participate in tracks to prepare for careers in health sciences.
Lincoln offers 21 Advanced Placement classes and 13 honors courses. Lincoln’s engineering and debate programs have also earned accolades at the local and state levels. They can also learn financial literacy via the school’s in-house bank. Lincoln High School also emphasizes the arts by offering classes in theater, visual arts, ceramics and more. The school has a full-sized theater where students perform full productions during the fall and spring.
Students can participate in over two dozen clubs and nine sports. The NFL’s Los Angeles Rams also recognized the school’s football coach as one of the best in the city in 2021.

The best part of my experience would definitely be the Math Science and Technology Magnet because they fostered a culture of ambition and taking academics seriously. Students motivated each other in the magnet and the teachers actually cared about what they were teaching. I also really valued the theater department and the lengths the theater teacher would go to in order to create meaningful shows with very limited resources.

I like the teachers and staff, also the After School Programs, and Tutoring. I would like my school to get aerial silks in the gym to be used to improve in Cheerleading and Dance, because the studios that offer it are much too expensive. Also I would like the chess club to be re-instated. Otherwise we mostly have everything else here.

Abraham Lincoln offers a handful of advanced placement classes you can challenge yourself with. There is a small bit of clubs available at the school and few college credit classes you are able to take. Preparing students for college readiness and having more resources is an improvement the school should take into consideration.
