Lincoln is one of the top schools in the entire state, with a high (and getting higher) graduation rate, wonderful ACT/SAT scores, and great accreditation. Students getting accepted into schools like Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and Princeton is incredibly common because those universities know that Lincoln students are intelligent and hardworking. Our teachers spend their entire days working with students until they understand the content, and we have 20 AP classes available to any grade. Any student is able to excel in the nationally recognized Lincoln programs such as the arts, sciences, and athletics. Our Patriot Pride is a force to be reckoned with.
Lincoln High School is the place to be! The school has such a welcoming environment and is always kept tidy. The staff is beyond amazing, filled with patient, understanding, and excellent teachers.
My experience at Lincoln High has been overwhelmingly positive. The atmosphere is friendly, the administration and counselors are helpful, and the general vibe is pretty good. The academics, music programs, and (nearly all) sports are the best in the state, and the social culture is fantastic in many of these areas as well. I feel that the school is also becoming more and more inclusive for all types of students in the sense that almost everyone can find their niche or pursue their interests in some way, whether its in classes, clubs, or extracurriculars. Most instructors do a great job, especially in accelerated/AP classes, although there are some poor teachers as well. Like any high school Lincoln has its ups and downs, but from my experience the ups definitely beat the downs.
