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.

Lincoln high is the place where I have made some of me friends how will stay with me for the long run. I've had and meet some amazing teachers that push me to do the best I can and reach for my dreams and who I can go to for support when ever I need to. Although this year that has change many of my teachers how I had for support no longer work at Lincoln I feel like I've lost that support system that I need to do better in school. Not only that but something it feels like some teachers and staff don't really care for our education and just do what ever they can to get through the day. This isn't go for everyone but some teachers act this way. I know some students that are struggling with classes or over all have given up and there's no one to help them get back up. It can be very bad that instead of talking to a teacher with will go to a friend and tell them there problems and why makes it worse is us as the friends we can't do anything to help.

It is definitely an interesting experience. I enjoy the very diverse atmosphere. Most of the teachers are very caring but there are a few that should not be teaching. I wish there were more programs for students wanting to take dual credit courses. I also think better communication on certain opportunities would be nice.

Alumni 2017 ,Mediocrity isn't just excepted it begins to feel like the norm. Some teachers try but the ones who cared seemed to have left, probably due to management. Never spoke to my principal in 4 years while doing extra curriculars, shameful.Wouldn't recommend and wouldn't put my child in the en...

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".
