Lincoln, the first public high school in Jersey City, was opened in 1913. It is located at 60 Crescent Avenue south of Journal Square.

The school suffers from low graduation rates and test scores and its location in a high crime area often leads to arguments on the streets spilling into the classroom.

Notable alumni: Jeffrey Dublin, member of the Hudson County Board of Chosen Freeholders.
