GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have been going to this school since kindergarten, and I believe the school has prepared me for college. We have the best academics out the Lincoln County School District. However, we are limited when it comes to resources.

I did not have the best experience in school. I like most of the teachers I had but not my classmates. Having to be around the same people in the same classes 24/7 was not fun for me because I had no friends and mostly everyone saw me as invisible. That made it hard to concentrate in class when everyone was being loud and I was just trying to focus on my work. many things have changed since I graduated last year. School used to be sort of fun with many event going on in fall of my freshman year, to almost no events by my senior year. There is not much diversity at the school and hearing people be slightly or overtly racist isn't uncommon.

I currently attend west lincoln high school I like how they provide kids with classes in agriculture and horticulture. agriculture and horticulture are a very big part of the area that we live in so it's convenient how they offer those in-person classes, I also like how West Lincoln in incorporating more classes into their curriculum and integrates live animals like chicks and bunnies in their agriculture classes. I would like for there to be more in-person and campus politic/ government classes along with more STEM classes since we currently have very limited classes in those two areas agt the moment.

My experience at this school was a blast and I wish I never moved away. The people are so nice and friendly, there are no uniforms, there is advanced teaching and lots of respect. I will admire this beautiful place for the rest of my life.
