Established in 1878 as Avenue 21 Grammar School, Abraham Lincoln High School then emerged as a public school in south Montecito Heights, where it meets Lincoln Heights. The home of the Tigers features a college preparatory curriculum along with magnet programs for math, science and environmental policy for students in grades nine through 12. In addition, students can participate in tracks to prepare for careers in health sciences.
Lincoln offers 21 Advanced Placement classes and 13 honors courses. Lincoln’s engineering and debate programs have also earned accolades at the local and state levels. They can also learn financial literacy via the school’s in-house bank. Lincoln High School also emphasizes the arts by offering classes in theater, visual arts, ceramics and more. The school has a full-sized theater where students perform full productions during the fall and spring.
Students can participate in over two dozen clubs and nine sports. The NFL’s Los Angeles Rams also recognized the school’s football coach as one of the best in the city in 2021.

Administrators are much better here than in other schools I have been to. Sure, the school has a bad reputation regarding its community, but it really depends on what perspective you see the school from. The school is full of history and opportunities for all students. Of course, it is not the best school, but it still is good considering other factors not mentioned here.

I am an upcoming freshman and I have heard some good things from this school. Therefore, I hope I have a good year at this school!

I like the teachers and staff, also the After School Programs, and Tutoring.

Also I would like the chess club to be re-instated. Otherwise we mostly have everything else here.
