4/1/2024
The best part of Lincoln High School is that they care. I have academically struggled and the counselors there are extremely supportive and would do anything to help you. They focus on your grades, your mental health, and anything else to improve on. However, the worst part is the disruptive learning. It can be challenging to learn with kids who bring the class down. The administration cannot do much, but it does affect learning for other students.

Lincoln was a good school to attend, although I would have like to have seen more business classes opportunities.

Great school overall, sad that my time was cut so short. Wish they handled their tarty policy a little better.

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.
