My overall experience at West Lincoln High School has been the best. I have never felt so involved with a school so much, I also enjoy how our community of West Lincoln is one big family. Everyone supports one another in any way that they can. It is truly a pleasure to be from West Lincoln High.

I love the extracurriculares and accommodations for online students, but the social life and punishments for racism could be better.

West Lincoln is a great school. It is small and everyone knows each other. Academically they excel for such a rural area. However, the small community can and does get in the way of proper education at times.

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.
