The teachers at Lincoln care deeply about their students. They do weekly professional development to make sure they are giving students the best tools and skills possible for them to be successful in high school and life beyond high school. They offer rigorous class options, mental health groups and other supports, and many sports and clubs for enrichment. Their Special Education programs are some of the most comprehensive in the district, and they have 4 Center programs for students with more intensive needs. The staff is mostly bilingual and staff make sure students have access to language supports during their whole time in school. Currently some students struggle with motivation and interest in learning but the school changes things every year to try to help students feel excited about what they're learning. Students graduate from Lincoln high school with offers of full-ride scholarships, having gained free college credits, and having explored areas of interest such as Digital Art, Construction, Music, and Business.

This is the worst school that I have ever experienced. There is no safety for students and families. There is a lot of drama between staff.

Students on IEP’s are not receiving their proper accommodations because there is no SPED team. I have been working in the Colorado school system for 21 years and have never ever encountered this before.

I had my reservations about sending my daughter to this school because of the 2 out of 10 it received on this website. Once I realized that the academic rating is for K-12 and that the elementary level has much better scoring than that, I felt more comfortable. A few things that I love about this school. First, my daughter is able to do dance, drama, art, and music at school. It is less time away from home in the evenings because I don't have to put her in outside classes. Secondly, the teachers at this school (speaking at the elementary level) are outstanding. I've been so impressed with their level of commitment to helping all of the children excel. My child was already reading when she started kindergarten, but they have been wonderful about differentiating for her and others, and they have a great gifted and talented teacher who works with the kids as well.Last of all, the elementary level principal is awesome! She collaborates with teachers and parents and is constantly working to improve the school (on all levels. i.e. teaching, data, culture). This school has a great community feel and gives great academic opportunities as well as art-filled experiences.

My daughter attended last year and so glad we left for another school. There are parents we talked to that still has their child going to this school and nothing has changed. New principal same result so far. Bullying is still rampant. Student body disrespectful to teachers. Per source numerous fights weekly with latest bigger kid beating up a little kid. Teacher tied to stop it, then big kid punches the teacher. Wow just wow. You can't fix bad students with parents who don't care. Sadly this school needs to consider shutting down again.
