I'm in my final year of being a student at LHS and I love this school so much. Almost every teacher I've been taught by has been absolutely amazing and supportive of their students. Moreover, the academy of art has pushed me further into my enjoyment of the arts.

I graduated from Lincoln high school a few years ago. Here i was offered many opportunities to grow and was acknowledged for my academic achievements. There are clubs here for everyone , staff is very friendly and teachers care. Though sometimes the students here don't always want to learn i've realized only you can do good for yourself , as long as YOU try for YOU don't let the negatives around you try and hold you back .

I would have never expected my high school experience to be the way it is in Lincoln. My freshman year was like any other. My sophomore year is when everything changed. I was introduced to their amazing arts industry (specifically performing arts) I joined their dance team which was completely ran by the students. I also joined their school choir where I met the most down the earth teacher and amazing friends. I would say being in the arts industry makes up most of my high school career. The academic teachers are great and it's so easy to build a connection with them. I personally never had a bad experience. My only concerns are the lack of discipline for the troubled kids. I would love to see something for those group of kids to be better and care about their academic career.

I wasn’t satisfied with this school. They definitely need to pay more attention to whom they are accepting to teach kids. My experience in this school was bad.
