I am currently going to Lincoln and I've had a pretty big amount of problems. There are so many smokers that there is an actual corner where they go to smoke. The teachers range from pretty good to really bad. The kids are very loud and very morally corrupt. However, if your kid is a guy the classes are great and seem to be tailored towards guys (classes such as woodshop, JROTC, etc.)
I read through the ratings on Lincoln and want to point out that they are wrong. For some, like languages offered, the information is simply outdated. For others, like programs offered, the information is wrong based on the last 4 years at least. If you're looking for information about Lincoln, stop by. The administration and staff welcome parents to the building and are open to interacting about which programs are available for your child.
I went to lincoln unfortunalty i had to move but i would give anything to go back to it. The teachers are great. Especially Mr.Nyland. Hes my favorite teacher. The food is good, and i love the school so much. Most people think its a really bad school but its not as bad as everyone thinks. Its actually good, the test scores are going up. I LOVE LINCOLN!!
Lincoln has always had the best teachers that really worked hard together to build and develop each and every student. It has been a family tradition to graduate from Lincoln dating back to my great grandmother. I am extremely excited to now send my child to Lincold and watch them graduate from a place that shares so much history.
Lincoln has amazing teachers that have been working hard to implement new programs to keep students engaged in learning.
One of the most diverse schools in Washington
Because Lincoln really loves it's students and works very hard to help them succeed at school and in life.
Because the teachers work so hard to do their best for all students. There is great school spirit, and everyone is focused on success.
I love teaching at Lincoln because of the cultural diversity of our student body. I love learning Samoan from my students, hearing students speak AAVE, and teaching a heritage spanish class to Latino stduents. In addition, our admin staff & teachers care about kids and making our school a great place to learn.
Lincoln High School is a great place to work, and I think our students are lucky in many ways they don't even know about. As I start my 6th year teaching here, I look around and am amazed by how my fellow teachers and administrators are willing to try new things, innovate, and adjust as we strive to meet the needs of our students--they are why we are here, after all. Everything we consider, we ask ourselves, 'Is it best for students?' and then go from there. Our students are awesome, and we ultimately want them to succeed in everything they do.
