School Overview

Lincoln High sits in the Southeastern San Diego neighborhood, a historically rich, working-class community that has long been the heart of the city's African American and Latino heritage. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, and while its academic scores reflect the real challenges that come with that reality, it's a school deeply embedded in its community — the kind of place where local ties and cultural pride run deep. Families rooted in Southeastern San Diego who want their kids to stay close to home and connected to their neighborhood will find Lincoln to be a familiar, community-anchored option, even as the school continues working toward stronger academic outcomes.
