sigh i always wanted to go to a diversity school in San francisco! Either Lincoln or Washington high :( I really hated my school i attended! (Elsie Allen high) Really bad esperience and Not a very fun school to be at! Too many wanna be gangsters -__- budget cuts make it far worse!Horrible in academics. Administrators Just didnt care. Students don't try enough to pass, its very disappointing.am sad to say i was a student of such a poorly run school sorry if i kind of sound too irrelevant to what this website wants me to write But what im reading in these comments Lincoln High Rocks!!

This school stinks! My daughter entered this school a straight A student. She left a c student with low test scores. She attended here for one year. In that time she was bullied daily. Her algebra class was out of control. She entered with star scores showing her gifted in algebra. Now they show her below average.I received two letters regarding her attendance because of the schools lack of communication between departments and the principal's lack of a spinal cord. As a former teacher and a parent, I was disgusted.

great teachers, coaches and administrators. I think most everyone can find somewhere to fit in, even though it's a big school. Go Mustangs!

It's in a safe neighborhood with off-campus lunch. The teachers are great and friendly, but they're strict enough to teach us. The whole enviroment of lincoln is just great !

I love that the teachers at Lincoln are passionate about what they teach. They chose to put in extra time to work with their students before school, during lunch, and after school even with knowledge of the fact that they do not get extra pay. The environment is friendly and cheerful as I walk down the hallways crowded with students as eager to learn as I am. Abraham Lincoln High School is the best!

I love Abraham Lincoln High School because I think this school gives me a lot of opportunities to do that ever we want that s good for us. ALH has lot of excellent classes for you to choose from and you can really learn from the teachers! Sports teams of Abraham Lincoln high school always stand out. Abraham Lincoln high has the only green academy in San Francisco. This shows that ALH are really trying to not only change the school, but the environment, the world by building youth leadership skills and educating them how the world works. Abraham Lincoln High School is the best.

We have more school spirit than every other school in the state combined, and Lincoln is entirely what everyone is looking for in a high school. If you're geared towards school, you can challenge yourself with classes like AP statistics and our nationally ranked Biotech program; if you like sports, Lincoln has almost thirty different teams to choose from, and most of them are in the top three in the city; Lincoln has over fifty clubs to help you find other students who share common interests. In short, Lincoln has everything that you could look for in a school.
