Lincoln Senior High School

I graduated from Lincoln High and it's a great school. People who complain about Lincoln being unsafe are misinformed. I was there for four years, I seen two fights. As well a prejudice school that's untrue as well with a mixed staff and, student body no racial conflicts at all. I been in much worse school districts than Lincoln, and compared to them Lincoln was heaven. I never felt unsafe there once. I loved my high school, still do.

I graduated from Lincoln and I find it repulsive how many negative comments I see about this school. I had an amazing High School experience and was completely prepared for college! I would encourage parents to send their children to Lincoln high school.

I myself was a Lincoln High School student and back then there was alot of prejudice at Lincoln and I see that it hasn't really changed very much. The degree of their prejudice is unacceptable. The way that our children are treated unnerves me. My daughter has only been attending Lincoln High since September, and has experienced predjudice on several different levels. It has deminished her self esteem, as well as her drive to succeed.

I was a student, who dropped out halfway through my senior year because of the anxieties caused by other students. Being unable to attend regular classes, I was plagued by teachers trying EVERY day to suspend me for my spotty attendance. Lincoln is a completely unsafe environment, its a usual sight to see students rushing toward a fight to catch a glimpse, and then see the deputy and hall monitor taking their time, conversing and walking slowly toward the situation. The two lunchrooms are EXTREMELY segregated. A white student would not be seen in the East lunchroom. I advise parents to think long and hard about sending their children to this establishment. Having been a student, I do not recommend Lincoln High School to anyone. To put it in perspective, I dropped out of school and would rather have a GED for the rest of my life than finish at Lincoln High School.

Lincoln is a great school with a very diverse student body.

I am going to be a senior for the 2009-2010 school year.. I have gone to lincoln since preschool. The teachers are overall pretty good at what they do but however some of them have no clue what order is. Classes go from formal to crazy through out the day. I would like to see not only more input and help from the teachers but the parents as well. The principal this year and last year has been very helpful in retaining order to our school. He is basically trying to fix the mess colman made. If everyone in our school worked as well as he and some of the other staff does we would be atleast a 4 star school.

Im grateful for a sight like this and I am glad that you screen the ratings before you place them on the sight. I will try again without being so subjective. I am just a little frustrated with the way things are currently handled. I have been in contact with the administration and every teacher as long as we have been in the district (8 years). Things dont really start to go down hill untill the kids get a little older. I wish I knew what it would take to get things back on track for all of the childrens sake. I know that my initial review had somethings that probably were not right to say, but also some of the things were facts that anyone can pull up on the Michigan Dept. of Education websight. Dont take my word for it look for your self.

I have two teens that go to Lincoln High School. There are some very awesome teachers there, but the problem with the education there seems to be more of a student issue. Both of my girls say they have many students in class that just don't do the work, pay attention, or respect the teachers...which leads to another problem, why arent the parents involved?? If you ask the techers they say that they try to get the parents involved - but the parents in most cases seem to think that Lincoln is basically free daycare. Great!! The AP classes I am afraid to say are lacking in numbers. Again, ask the teachers and counselors and they tell you they just don't get student enrollment they should in AP classes so they end up having to drop the class due to low enrollment. Female sports? Poor! Its very male sport oriented.

I have been to Lincoln all my life. I loved it! There are awesome teachers that have over 40 years of experience. However, they do have some bad ones. I think the parent involvement should be better. Even though not all the sports have winning records they are still competetive. Lincoln has an excellent music and arts program . I am very proud to say I am a Lincoln Alumni.

There are some good teachers and some great students, just like anywhere however, admin doesn't back the staff, budget cuts are in the millions, parents aren't all as involved as they should be, sexual pressure and promiscuity are prevalent, violence/fights were really bad the last few years, seems a bit better this year. If you have a special ed student, think long and hard before placing your child here. Meet with some parents, meet with the staff and admin before enrolling if you can. Really check it out. You cant get these years back for you child.
