The best part of Lincoln was the variety and type of AP classes avaliable, and most of them had really good teachers, leaving me feeling ready for the test. The worst part of Lincoln was how overcrowded it was, with most classes being quite full, which reduced the in-class support we could get.

As a recent alumni, I enjoyed my time at Lincoln High School. The teachers were great and really cared about seeing their students succeed. The lunch was hit or miss.

Lincoln High School in Sioux Falls is a unique high School experience. After going there for four years I can say it takes what one thinks of high school and put a twist to it. The school has a high focus on stem education with high scoring students but this dose not come at the price of extra circular activities. While they might be under funded they have some of the best programs in the state with some of the most dedicated teachers I have experienced.

I hate this school. the teachers are harsh, the principals are all rude and they pick favorites, and just the school's vibe is all off. I only come to school to see my friends honestly.

My daughter transferred to this school from Washington High School in Sioux Falls because of medical discrimination at WHS (504 plan, diabetes). She had nothing but the best experiences at LHS. As a former teacher in the district, as well, I wish we had started her at LHS.

Through one of the school's clubs, DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America), I have learned more about the real world than I feel I have sitting in one of the classrooms there. As every student would, I would like to change their motivation to help minorities and also change their view on home...
