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.

My overall experience with Lincoln is pretty good. There are a lot of teachers who care a lot about having successful students and wanting to better the students at Lincoln. The students at Lincoln are friendly and funny. They are hardworking and want to learn. Overall, Lincoln was a very good school to go to and taught me a lot of things about life, knowledge and society. And I would love to do it all over again.

My experience at Lincoln High school is mixed. I have not been there long enough to make a accurate observation. The length of time I was there , I saw a lack of preparation for seniors for college. It is a team effort for counselors and seniors. Both sides needs to have common grounds

I've had my ups and downs like any other student in their high school life. The best experience I've got out of this school was the ability to connect with peers who look like me, talk like me, and relate to me. However, the worst part of it all was the coaching staff, guarantee I once did look up to these coaches, I've seen how they exert their authority of being an adult and coach to bring others down and disrespect me, which was something I tolerated to keep my peace. I would hope for the near future my younger teammates will get better coaches.

Our 4 children attended Lincoln & now all are college grads & in professional careers. We now have grandchildren attending & they are receiving a great educational experience. There are many advanced placement classes to choose from along with a wide selection of extracurricular activities.

Lincoln high school sucks! Just bc it's a low income neighborhood doesn't mean that education should also be dummed down.. There is not enough staff and to many unlocked doors for kids to walk off campus. I would avoid Lincoln all together!
