Going to lincoln you are going to see a lot of diversity and the teachers do care about how you do in their class. Our sports teams are very good and we pride ourselves in our school culture.

The best part of my Lincoln high school experience is the diversity of the school and how different we are compared to other schools. The culture of the school and teachers help out a lot. I wouldn't say Lincoln is perfect but I haven't went through or experienced bad things. I wouldn't change anything about Lincoln. Once an Abe always and Abe.

The middle of my freshman year I moved to a new city. A new place, new school, new everything. I came to Lincoln in the middle of the school year right after winter break. I was out of place. I was scared. I didn't know what to do. But as time went on I started to adjust. I made a couple of friends and the teachers were nice. The best part was that I did well in school, I was proud of myself for catching up to each and everyone in my classes. I was happy that I could open up the shell that was covering me and see what was waiting for me. The worst part was that I struggled transitioning from my old school to Lincoln. I love my old school and it was hard leaving all my friends behind. But I learned that you'll always make friends wherever you go. Overall I love Lincoln and I hope to see Lincoln high school grow with me in the future.

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!
