Lincoln Public Schools sees increase in students attending summer school
While summer school does allow students to make up for failed classes, it also gives students the chance to get ahead with credits.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) The number of students registered for high school summer school at Lincoln Public Schools is up after an unprecedented year.
“Today we had about 2,260 students who have signed up which is about 300 more students than we generally have at this time,” LPS Director of student services, Russ Uhing, said.
While the summer classes aren’t solely for students who may have failed, there was a large number of remote learners who had more than one failing grade at the end of fall semester. One in four students to be exact. It’s one of the reasons LPS is eliminating the hybrid option for summer school.
