LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL

Lincoln High School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Port Angeles School District school district, located in PORT ANGELES, WA with about 72 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 4 teachers, Lincoln High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Lincoln High School, located at 924 W 9th St in Port Angeles, Washington, serves as the district’s alternative learning environment. Unlike traditional comprehensive high schools, Lincoln is designed to provide a more flexible, personalized educational experience for students who may benefit from a smaller setting, credit recovery options, or individualized support to achieve their graduation goals. The school focuses on fostering a close-knit community where staff can closely monitor student progress and provide the necessary interventions to ensure academic success and emotional well-being.

The school emphasizes a supportive culture that prioritizes student engagement and self-paced learning. By offering a different instructional approach than the larger local high schools, Lincoln High helps students overcome barriers to education—whether those challenges are credit deficiencies, personal circumstances, or a need for a less conventional classroom atmosphere. Through its commitment to inclusivity and targeted academic support, Lincoln High School plays a vital role in the Port Angeles School District by ensuring that every student has a pathway to earn their diploma and prepare for life after high school.
