I am blessed that this school exemplifies the true meaning of a house divided can not stand. Parents students, teachers and administrators work together so all students can achieve.

I have 3 children that attend this school. Some of them have been bullied on and off since they have started the school. I have went the school several times about the bullying. They dont do anything about the situation but tell lies to the parents to get us out their face. It was an incident where my daughter was jumped by 3 students(2 girls and a boy they got a couple of days of suspension and some tickets. But that only allowed them to come and continue to do what they were doing before they left. Dont send ypur child to this school. YOU WILL REGRET IT. PS Mr. Harris is doing his best but they send him to do all they dirty work.

I'm an A student, never get in trouble, never missed a single day. It's not school. It's bascily baby sitting for teenagers. No quiet place to study, the library is a place to run around and scream, and when there's no one in there, its off limits. What kind of school doesn't offer a student a quiet place to read and study. No wonder all these kids are attached to their phones and do nothing at all besides cause problems and make other kids transfer. Out of all the schools I've been to, this is the worst. The teachers are amazing though. The students pick on me because of my race. I've also gotten sexually harassed and no authority did anything at all about it so, yeah. Shit school. It's a great option to send your kid anywhere else, because they will just be influenced by the horrible kids that attend this school currently. It's so bad to the point where I'm doing online school for senior year.

Lincoln is not that good school to let your kids go to my opinion send your kids to Warren Woods Tower Warren Mott High and Center Line High School.Because they will teach your kids Lincoln wont teach them all they do is talk to other teachers. And act like the kids are not even there

Lincoln High continues to improve. They provide a wonderful selection of AP classes for their students. I was delightfully surprised because we moved from Saline to Lincoln and I had heard negative comments from a Saline parent. I'm thrilled that parent was wrong. My daughter loves the school and appreciates the diversity. The communication with the teachers is also very good.

lincoln is a great school and has excellent staff members that are willing to help you but a lot of kids come from detroit to get an education and i love going to school at lincoln. we have awesome band programs and we have marching and all kinds of sports. we even have free lunchs for everyone including those who cant pay which is great.

Lincoln High School has seen some amazing growth and changes. The principal is incredibly dedicated to the student's growth, learning and promotion of a safe atmosphere. I highly reccomend this school

The School District and community has been going through a great amount of change and it has been hard for the community to adjust to the change. Their priority has always been on activities, clubs and vocational classes. It really is not the school they remember - but it is far better because it is preparing our kids for the future that they really face! The district is doing anything they can to include parents and community is it's goal to make their district a place where EVERY student learns. My son has been helped more than any other school he has ever attended and went from being a possible drop-out to being in all college bound classes. The teachers and the administrators work very hard for every student to be successful and they are always looking for parents to help out wherever they can.

None of the information indicated under the extracurricular classes, languages, or other information is correct. My oldest daughter graduated in 2010, and I have a step-son in 9th grade special ed., and my middle daughter was supposed to go in as a freshman next year, but we are moving away from here. I refuse to let my kids go to these schools anymore. No kid left behind means no kid gets a good education either. These kids do not know spelling and/or punctuation, math, or essentially anything else necessary to function in society. Most parents don't care about their kids education or anything else about their kids here. They treat the school as if it was a babysitting service so they don't have to take care of their kids or teach them anything.
