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.

As a recent graduate of Lincoln High School, I can say that my four-year spent there was pleasant. There were nice teachers and really good programs that actually made me realize what career I wanted to go into, education.

This school has great academics. Very diverse so you'll be able to be friends with many different people which helps with your social life. Cafeteria food isn't top tier but there are fast food places surrounding the school. Most of the teachers are actually good at teaching and care about your well being.

Overall I have highly appreciated my time at GLHS. As a rising senior I can say that most of my time has been well spent. Most of my teachers have done a phenomenal job at disseminating their content. A variety of classes are offered, from AP and honors to unique regular classes.

Majority of teachers are white, many w/ controlling and discouraging characters, lack of kindness, and empath...

My child was super unhappy at this school. Teachers ignored him and the guidance counselor showed zero interest in helping him with his options on what to do for post secondary education or career routes. This district completely ignored students who do not come from affluent backgrounds. They also...
