Introduction
Abraham Lincoln High School is a comprehensive high school with a long history of high expectations and excellence. The goal is to provide a positive, nurturing school environment that supports high academic performance and high student self-image. We recognize that students bring their diverse experiences into the classroom, and believe instruction should be responsive to different student learning needs.
Abraham Lincoln High School, which opened in 1940, is one of the leading comprehensive public high schools in San Francisco and it serves culturally diverse students from all areas of the city.
Lincoln graduates succeed in universities and colleges locally, all across the country, and overseas. A team of enthusiastic, hard-working administrators leads our multi-talented and dedicated faculty and staff by setting high expectations for all members of the educational community. A positive school environment helps support an exemplary record of academic performance and boosts self-image for all students. A Wellness program addresses all students who need emotional, social, and health support.

The extensive curriculum includes advanced placement, honors, and college preparatory courses, as well as exploratory courses for careers in visual and performing arts, the practical arts, business, and computer technology. We also provide specialized programs for students identified as Special Education and Limited English Proficient.
Our strong co-curricular program meets a wide range of student interests. We have over 60 clubs as well as a broad interscholastic sports program of 28 teams. The cheerleading program has earned distinguished recognition in regional competition, and the school’s JRTOC Program, band, choir, drama, student publications, Lincs Service Society, Interact Service Club, Mustang TV, and Peer Resource Program continue to bring glory to the school. Lincoln provides each student with not only a safe environment, but also a highly challenging and enriching high school experience.

School Data
School Accountability Report Card (SARC)
School Accountability Report Cards (SARCs) are required by state law and are intended to provide families with important information.
School Accountability Highlights
Published annually by SFUSD to provide access to key data points and three-year trends related to student achievement and school culture-climate. The highlights are available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Filipino, and Vietnamese.
Social-Emotional and Culture Climate Report
SFUSD annually surveys families and school staff on a range of school climate indicators that have been found to predict positive student academic achievement. The social-emotional learning of students in grades 4-12 is also assessed.
School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)
School communities gather twice a year to review data and previous actions in order to intentionally plan for the coming months. The School Plan for Student Achievement is the template on which this review and stakeholder engagement process is codified.
