The teachers are amazing! I really love working with them. The school counselors are not the best. I also think that there is a lot of students with a negative attitude towards school in general. The ideas are great, but there are some things in the administrations that need to change.
Review Lincoln High School
Overall it is a very good school. However, the academics are either rigorous or basic, there is no inbetween for students who may not be ready for academic rigor. There are also very few math and science teachers who actually know what they're doing, unfortunately. However, many teachers within the school are passionate about learning and their students. The extra curricular programs are great but the facilities for fine arts are seriously lacking.
Throughout my time at Lincoln, I have made many friends and have been well prepared for college. The school staff has helped not only prepare for college and living on my own but, they have also introduced me to some amazing people and helped me get involved in outside and extracurricular activities. Being at Lincoln has been a great experience for me and I hope that my younger siblings have the opportunity to come to this school and get an experience as good as mine was. I loved going to school here so much that I moved out of state and still went to school here and soon moved back.
