Lincoln High School

Q: Is Lincoln High School a good school?

Summary:

Lincoln High School is a public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Lincoln, Arkansas, with 349 students. The school is part of the Lincoln School District, which is ranked 154 out of 252 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln High School consistently underperforms the state average in proficiency rates across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 24.5% of Lincoln High students were proficient in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 33.8%, and in math, the proficiency rate was just 6.7% compared to 26.8% statewide. The school has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.94% to 64.76% over the past 3 years, significantly higher than the state average. At $9,589 per student in 2018-2019, Lincoln High School's spending is lower than the state average and many of the nearby schools, but the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.7 to 9.3 over the past 3 years.

When comparing Lincoln High School to the nearby schools, such as Har-Ber High School, Fayetteville High School, and Prairie Grove High School, it is clear that Lincoln is underperforming significantly. However, one notable exception is Haas Hall Academy, a public charter school about 19 miles from Lincoln High, which consistently ranks among the top schools in the state and has exceptional test scores, highlighting the potential for high achievement even in a high-poverty area when the right educational model and resources are in place.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
