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.

Overall East Lincoln has been a good school for my child. There are several options for advanced classes such as Honors, AP, and Dual Enrollment. There are also clubs and volunteer opportunities.

Way too much funding is placed into sports, especially football. Many bathrooms have no locks on the stalls or don't have doors at all. They make clubs very expensive and exclusive. I receive very little accommodations for my disability. College and career readiness resources are not easy to access or cost too much money. Mold is in half of the rooms and very unhelpful administration.

Best part is my friends from grade school we all continued with the same schooling and the administration takes all measures to keep us safe from threats.

I'm sure it is tough everywhere, but our daughter did not get the right attention or education here. It's really fallen off, so much so that we're moving her out of the school system for her last two years. We feel it will be better teachings and preparation for adulthood and college.
