What people are saying

by a student
Friday, November 18, 2011

After attending Lincoln for several years I feel confident in saying this school is lacking in nearly every area. From pre-school until tenth grade I had two excellent teachers, as many as a handful of good teachers, and the rest did not devote themselves to teaching well. I currently attend the Early College Alliance (the 6th highest school in MI) and the difference is utterly staggering. With the right staff Lincoln could do well, but under current circumstances its students are fish in a pond that is rapidly evaporating away. Close Quote
