I absolutely loved attending Lincoln High School. The best part about this school is that there is a place for everyone. Lincoln goes above and beyond to make sure that everyone feels included and that they are getting the most out of their education. In addition to that, nearly every teacher that I encountered during my time at Lincoln was ready and willing to go above and beyond to help me achieve my goals and learn the most that I possibly could. Thank you Lincoln High School for making it the best four years possible! Even though some may consider us to be a big school, we are a family and I am going to miss seeing all of the teachers and underclassmen next year when I move on to the next stage of my life.
Lincoln High School has been an up and down experience for me. From year to year we have had changes in faculty, and administration; it has made it hard while transitioning through all my years in school. We have had two principles within my three years of school, which has brought big changes each time. I have appreciated and learned to adjust to both teachers. This year we also had three new assistant principles enter our school; having an all new staff has challenged students, but it has brought new excitements to Lincoln! Overall, my experience has been sub par. It has not been bad or great, but just an in between. I have had amazing experiences with music and academics here, but socializing has been hard. It is a very popular school, there is cliques and parties. Things I do not feel comfortable around; it has been one of the biggest challenges. I would appreciate changes being made in the student culture area, as well as the administration.
School spirit/student-body is something that is a priority to the administration and oftentimes upperclassmen but this won't affect you unless you want it to. The student body is extremely conservative, people wear confederate flags to school or put trump/BLM/confederate stickers on their cars. On the academic level, Lincoln has historically been very competitive and enforced a rigorous but advantageous curriculum. Through the last few years that has changed. New coming staff, specifically counselors are NOT ready to prepare your child for the college application process. There is no meeting or grand announcement to start your college applications or even to start your scholarship applications. There are 0 resources for applying to out of state schools. If you are looking for a school to challenge your child to get into an ivy they might be able to learn the content here but you will need to educate yourself on the college application process or higher a college application tutor.
