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.

I've been going here since the middle of my sophomore year, the best part about my school is diversity. I feel like at this school you can never be bored because their always something new you can try. Something I would like to see change is administration being more involved with students and more precautions to keep students from fighting.

At Lincoln high school i have had an upcoming moment with turning my academic mindset around and thats thanks to the teachers and administrators. before being at Lincoln i hated to go to school and felt that it were a chore to have to get my work done rather than just doing it for the better of my education. I was in a dark space in my mental health and honestly didn't have the best friends or role models to show me that what i was doing wasn't the route to go down, but that all changed at Lincoln. Every little thing was different , from the way teachers greeted you in the morning all the way down top how the campus was taken care of. The littlest things at the school that i didn't used to receive made such a difference in how i looked at school and in my academics. Before transferring to Lincoln high school my gpa stood at a 2.6 , now i am proudly at a 3.74 ending my high school career with honor roll.

I think the high school has lots of potential they just need to care alittle more and work as a team to make it a better school, to hire teachers that actually care about teaching and to teach students to respect eachother to make the school a more peaceful and safe environment for everyone

My only suggestion is to visit this school, on more than one occasion. Arrive unannounced, and see if you feel it provides the educational environment, and safety, you want your child in.
