Lincoln High

Summary:

Lincoln High is a public high school located in Lincoln, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,355 students. It is part of the Western Placer Unified School District, which is ranked 470 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past few years, Lincoln High has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 352 out of 2,039 California high schools in 2015-2016 to 955 out of 2,323 in 2023-2024. The school's academic performance has also been lower than the Western Placer Unified School District and the state of California, with its students performing below the state average in Smarter Balanced Assessments and the California Science Test (CAST). Additionally, Lincoln High has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 0.3% in 2018-2019 to 28.9% in 2021-2022.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools, such as West Park High, Woodcreek High, and Del Oro High, which are part of the Roseville Joint Union High and Placer Union High districts, Lincoln High has consistently lower academic achievement and higher chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, the school's relatively high percentage of low-socioeconomic status students, around 32-35%, may be contributing to its academic challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
