GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

I just graduated from Lincoln High School in 2024 and I have to say I really enjoyed my experience there. Principal Mr. GasOf course it wasn't the perfect school but they did what they could to help us become better scholars and people in general.

The best part of Lincoln High School is that the teachers are pretty relaxed, and they don't overwhelm me with work and projects so it's easy for me to do my work in class and not have to feel too stressed to do anything. The bad things about the school are that they promote sports a little more than anything else and that sometimes we have events that are planned at the last minute. So if there's anything I'd like to see change is for the school to properly plan things out, and promote the clubs and activities more.

A horrific attempt at education. This school is a symbol, a testament, of society's total lack of interest for our common man's well being.
