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.

My best experiences of going to Lincoln high school was participating in school activities and learning new techniques, as well as being apart of their majorette team and track & field, it helped me build bonds with multiple. I would say the worst part of being at Lincoln was not having administration on our side, sometimes they aren't there for us and they do things we are against which in my eyes is wrong. They don't treat us with the respect that we would like.

I've been going here since the middle of my sophomore year, the best part about my school is diversity. I feel like at this school you can never be bored because their always something new you can try. Something I would like to see change is administration being more involved with students and more precautions to keep students from fighting.

I had a wonderful experience with Lincoln. I was transferred there after my online school shut down. I was still online while in Lincoln making it perfect for me. I didn't have any distractions and the teachers were very helpful. I've been on campus once to take my graduation pictures with a cap and gown. The school is huge with many different types of students.

My only suggestion is to visit this school, on more than one occasion. Arrive unannounced, and see if you feel it provides the educational environment, and safety, you want your child in.
