My daughter is a freshman in the school and we are thrilled with her experience. Great teachers and welcoming students.

The teachers and some of the staff are awful. One of the P.E. teachers had recently called multiple African-American students the "hard r." Some of the teachers pick obvious favorites and only give them good grades, while leaving the rest to suffer. Me and many of the students who I know that have attended Lincoln have had at least multiple teachers they absolutely despised. The principal and vice principals all use guilty by association, even if you just so happened to spare the slightest glance at ANY incident. They also pressure students to get in trouble when they have done no wrong doing by threating them with messages to parents or harsher punishment than the actual perpetrators. There were multiple previous classes I have attended there that left me with no new understanding of the subject that was being taught, and actually worsened my understanding of it. The students are also awful as they have no respect for anyone except for themselves. The staff I actually liked and were extremely nice to the students are some of the hall monitors and the custodial staff. I've had maybe around four teachers I actually liked while the rest were bad to utterly awful/

With two students currently enrolled, I am very pleased with their experiences at Otis. Their teachers have been engaged and interested in our kids' development, both academically and socially. Otis is an exceptional choice for those who want an honest, caring, and inclusive place to learn.
