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.

Lincoln High School is in my opinions one of the best high schools you an go to in Portland. They have a massive number of electives, including but not limited to product design, ceramics, mindfulness, yoga, computer science, culinary arts, creative writing, robotics, personal finance, 2D design, photography, academic center, and so much more. There is a class for just about everything a student might want to explore. The building is newly built and the facilities are excellent. There can be something said about the quality of the school food, but the kitchens are clean and organized. There are more sports teams than one can count, and more clubs than one can imagine. Overall, I don't know if I would have been better off anywhere else.

All three of my children received excellent educations at this amazing public school.

The students here are polite and engaged for the most part. Most of the work is on Chromebooks so the collaboration is missing a bit, but the students do get a decent education.

Community is fine. Many teachers do not know how to teach.
