this highschool under the rule of mr williams i can confidently say this schools experience was awful. the teachers dont teach the principal is over policing everyone and the students are being thrown work and being told to just "figure it out". they take your snacks and force you to wait untill lunch meaning you must put your snacks or food brought from home in either a lunch box or a plastic bag with a stickynote on it. and to the low income students who cant afford lunch boxes they are forced under this rule. the bathrooms are locked 90% of the school day. the principal with a megaphone ushers kids off the property scorning community and pushing the agenda of a prison like school. and the food is low quality as multiple students have reported unusual findings in their food like nails hair teeth. but theyve also reported that the low quality food is so awful theyd rather skip it entirely and starve. Lincoln High school is a shameful prison for children while it decorates itself from the outside as a high prestigious black school. but the bilingual kids are failing spanish, the intelligent kids are burning out quicker and the ones who gave up already know their fate once they leave this highschool.

I am a 2010 graduate from Lincoln high and i attended there for two years. to be honest this school has so much potential, the teachers are passionate in teaching and they know their material. the only thing that contradicts that is the students who lack the enthusiasm of learning and of course not all of the students. There are bright and talented students here. just because there is 'violence, and bad kids" in the does not meant that the entire school is. Another thing if the TAKS test was gone i believe this school would have higher ratings, future students would love to attend the school for the fist time. THE PARENTS WOULD BE MORE INVOLVED. the stats of test scores will be higher and every student should have an opportunity to enroll into the the humanities and communications magnet (which is an excellent program for the ones interested in journalism)t. bottom line i am proud to graduate from this historical magnet high school. GO TIGERS!!
