My overall experience with Lincoln High School was one to remember, not. If I were to explain my 4 years of attending high school at Lincoln High in 1 sentence, it would be, "Man I would love to leave." This is not because of the teachers or faculty, but because the overall atmosphere of the school is dreary. The hallways smell of pee, the paint of the walls is chipping, and the bright fluorescent lights at some point are bound to give you a headache.

Here in Lincoln High School I've met a lot of great teachers and met some great people. There's a lot of racial and religious diversity in this school which is great because students can learn about others and their backgrounds.

There are many sports for students to choose from, many clubs, great staff, access to technology for work online etc. I believe Lincoln High School is a good school and i believe others would feel the same.
