alhs.nycAbout
Abraham Lincoln High School in Brooklyn is a large, diverse public high school with a rich history, housed in a landmark building constructed in 1929 with extensive facilities including five gymnasiums, a swimming pool, and specialized labs for animal science and photography. The school emphasizes developing "Lincoln Citizens" prepared for college and community through small learning communities and advisories. Its 4-year graduation rate of 85.0% is at the citywide 25th percentile, while its college enrollment rate of 65.6% is around the citywide median. Regents exam performance is mixed, with strong pass rates in Languages Other Than English (91.1%) and Algebra II (86.7%), but lower rates in foundational math and sciences. Parents consistently report overwhelmingly positive experiences, and teachers are described as supportive and approachable, fostering a mentorship culture. The school is celebrated for its welcoming and diverse environment, offering a wide array of academic programs, clubs, and sports. However, some students and parents have expressed concerns regarding safety and occasional behavioral issues, suggesting a need for enhanced security and conflict resolution efforts. The school boasts a long list of notable alumni, including Nobel laureates, athletes, and entertainers.
