I have been a student at lincoln charter since I was a freshmen. The staff are very supportive of academic success and community service. Going here gave me an academic advantage over other schools in my area due to their close relationship to the dual enrollment college program. I was able to obtain my associates degree a semester before I graduated high school. This put me two years ahead of everyone else. The only thing I wish had been different was the atmosphere. A lot of the students were under extreme distress to be the best of the best; it seemed as though academics were the only thing we were supposed to care about. Towards the end of my high school career was when I personally started to see and feel a change, but those circumstances could have been only for me. I wish I would have seen a more diverse and accepting atmosphere. I always felt as though the presence and acceptance of the LGBTQIA community was something the school never tried to address to openly support.
At Lincoln Charter the staff wanted what was best for you but in more of an academic manner. While I can see that is obviously their main concern it is also important for teachers and staff at school to try and be there for students mental health throughout the year. At Lincoln Charter, they liked to pile their students with workloads that were physically impossible and then when it was somehow finished they would continue the cycle. They considered this "preparing us for college." During our yearly college tours with my school we would meet up with students who had graduated from LCS who were now attending these colleges. They often told the students that the workloads that LCS teachers often put on us was not them preparing us for college but in fact the opposite. They always told us college was easier than LCS and the stress from high school was not worth it. After being there for 13 years of my life I can say that my mental health was not spared at all.
Lincoln Charter School is excellent at its goal of college prep for students, from kindergarten all the way to 12th grade. I have been at the Lincolnton campus since kindergarten, so you could say I have experience being there. I have always enjoyed the academic side of the experience, because it has challenged me much more than a regular public school ever would have. It in part has lead to my success as a student, and will continue to aid me as I enter college. One downside to LCS in recent years has been the struggle to find new teachers that are exceptional at their job, at least in high school (I wouldn't know about the middle school or elementary because I'm a senior with no siblings at the school anymore). The teachers that have been there for awhile are experienced and perform well at teaching us the necessary information and preparing us for college using a multitude of strategies.
