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.

One of that highlights of Lincoln High is that we have a college preparation course that gives us many opportunities. The worst experience is when there was a tornado that touched down in our town and we had to go down in the basement. there were over 2,400 kids in one place and it was very hot.

The school community is very nice. All of the staff members care about each student and do all that they can to help each student succeed. The athletics program has many flaws and have not provided the best experience however.

I had an amazing experience at this school. They offer a wide variety of class levels including differentiated, AP, and IB.
