Our 4 children attended Lincoln & now all are college grads & in professional careers. We now have grandchildren attending & they are receiving a great educational experience. There are many advanced placement classes to choose from along with a wide selection of extracurricular activities.

Lincoln high school sucks! Just bc it's a low income neighborhood doesn't mean that education should also be dummed down.. There is not enough staff and to many unlocked doors for kids to walk off campus. I would avoid Lincoln all together!

Lincoln has more AP offerings than any school in the district. They have the best welding and construction trades programs in Pierce County. Senior last year won more than $1.2 million in scholarships.

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 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!!
