The subjects are good, good community, the only problem is that your yearly experience is HEAVILY dependent on the teachers you get. My apush teacher only talks about himself and I just know I'm failing the AP test because of it. School lunch is good, Campus is great, I never find myself being late to classes, but the hall monitors can be a little strange at times. Gender neutral bathrooms are required to have the doors open at all times, which i'm pretty sure is to prevent vaping but it's kinda like really discriminatory towards gender non-conforming students. Overall really good school, I feel like I was kind of negative towards it but i've genuinely enjoyed my time here.

Overall this school is better than the majority of the middle schools in the bay area. I appreciate the amount of options for different electives that generally help like learning languages and different skills. The Pe teachers do a great job teaching each seasonal sport with tactics that will help students in the future. What i do NOT like about this school is the amount of unnecessary rules that are set. The Lms staff and principals are not very good at tolerating with kids behavior and don’t take some situations seriously or wont hear a student out in a situation when they get in any sort of trouble. It is very rare for any sort of physical fight to go down in this school which says a lot about promoting the safety in Lincoln Middle. They promote equality by making school clubs for every race, gender, and religion, but i notice that there is a majority of just white students and asian students. As a former student that currently goes to lincoln, there is definitely lots of name callings, social media posts, and rumors that go around about people. But the Lincoln middle school staff does its best to prevent it by educating people in our weekly leadership advisories. Overall i can generally recommend this school to any student who is moving to alameda/thinking about a change of schools.

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.
