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 have experienced a lot during my three years of high school. One of the best parts of high school is the bonds you make with some of the teachers. Not always will you find a teacher that you like but I got lucky and have loved all of my teachers. The worst part of high school is of course the homework. You have a ton of it and sometimes it is hard to keep up with it all. The main thing I would say is to get your homework done on time and make sure you stay on top of it. It can be a lot at one time. Just do not give up when it starts to get hard. I promise it will get easier the longer you are in high school.

I have enjoyed my time at LCHS. Inhabe had opportunities to be involved in things that interest me. I feel as though most teachers care about my success and well-being. I feel I was well prepared for taking SAT as well as having classes offered to me to prepare me for success in college. Also, being offered dual credit classes has been a helpful way to get a head start on college.

I liked my time that I spent at Lincoln Community High School. It was a pretty good high school. I would say my favorite part about LCHS is the people and the teachers there. They are all so good. I would say the worst part is waking up at 6 am for early bird (but I am not a morning person) otherwise it was fine.

LCHS fits everyone in and there are friends for everyone. All members of the staff act as a counselor to all students that step forward and ask...
