I am in my second semester at Southwest High School. I have lived in the area my entire life and the community of Lincoln has always been so friendly. It mostly applies to all the students and staff at Southwest. I can't help but notice a lot of the students at school always seem so depressed or unmotivated. It might just be a phase or how we were raised but I remember when school was fun and people wanted to go. The teachers at Southwest really vary. I have had teachers I've loved and teachers who aren't my type of teachers. The block schedule is something I thought I wouldn't like but it's actually pretty nice. You aren't going to 7 or 8 classes in one day and it's good to have time to cover lots of information and ask questions after. I would say the only con is when you have a bad class and you just have to wait however long till it gets over. All in all Southwest is an average high school.

Great school, as good as public school can get with the funding available to a town of Lincoln's size.

Southwest is a very well built school. All of the staff really cares about every single student that attends Southwest each and everyday. Southwest has a big virility of sports, clubs, and activities to get involved in. Along with only having four classes a day is amazing.GO SOUTHWEST SILVER HAWKS!!

This school is amazing! The school leadership and staff are skilled, caring, and dedicated to each and every student! I’m not certain why Southwest is only rated 3 out 10- each year Southwest students:- graduate at an approx. 92-93% rate.- outscore peers at the local, state, and national levels in B...
