Although I have been in this school for 3 months so far, I am pretty happy with it. Teachers and my counselor guide me whenever I need to. They are always helpful and I kind. I am not afraid or shy to ask advice. I love most of my classes, especially biology and English 4. I never regret going to this school.

I would say my experience with Lincoln high school is really good and I love it. I say this because I been going here since freshman year and the staffs and security are so good with people and makes the day go by smoother. The school itself is very diverse and care about people feelings and other cultures.So overall I would say it's a good school and not only in academic wise but also those reasons too.
