The school doesn't have much fights or violence but every now and then there would be students who talk back and disrespect school policies. Overall there is diversity and nice teachers who help you when you need help.

My experience with Lincoln High School I would say is it's okay. It's seems like a big school and overwhelming as someone who's new but with repetition, you'll get used to it. There are some fun teachers which is helpful due to helping you get more comfortable.

It's ok, the over vibe isn't the best, all though the teachers do the best themselves, it's the students vibes and sometimes how negative they can be

The teachers try their best with what they have. Problems in the school are purely from lack of funding. With our governor not caring about public schools in any way, Lincoln is doing best they can.

This schools teachers are very unprofessional and the majority just seem there to get the pay check never will I let any of my kids get into this sad and joke of a "school".
