High Schools in Estherville Lincoln Central Com School District

Estherville Lincoln Central Com School District has only one high school, Estherville Lincoln Central High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has a diverse student population, with a mix of White, Hispanic, and other racial backgrounds. However, the school's academic performance has been uneven, with 9th-grade students outperforming the state average in English Language Arts, but 10th and 11th-grade students performing below the state average. In Mathematics, the school's performance has been consistently below the state average, particularly in the upper grades.

Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Estherville Lincoln Central High School has faced challenges in maintaining its academic standing. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three school years, from 200th out of 332 Iowa high schools in 2021-2022 to 238th out of 338 in 2023-2024. This suggests the school may be struggling to keep up with the academic performance of other schools in the state.

One notable factor is the high percentage of students (46.88%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. This socioeconomic challenge may present unique obstacles for the school in terms of academic support and resources. The Estherville Lincoln Central Com School District and the school's administration may need to focus on addressing these areas of concern to improve student outcomes and better prepare students for post-secondary success.
