School Overview

Lincoln West School of Science & Health, located on Cleveland’s near-west side, is a unique public high school that operates through a collaborative partnership between the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) and The MetroHealth System. As a specialized "school within a school" model, it is designed to provide students with a rigorous, hands-on academic experience that bridges the gap between traditional classroom learning and the professional medical field.

The curriculum is heavily focused on health sciences, offering students the chance to work alongside medical professionals, participate in job shadowing, and gain early exposure to various healthcare careers. By integrating clinical experiences with core high school subjects, the school aims to prepare students for both post-secondary education and immediate entry into the workforce. This model provides an immersive, career-connected environment that helps students develop technical skills, empathy, and professional readiness within the context of a supportive public school setting.
