The school is part of the Lincolnwood School District 74, which is ranked 229 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Hall Middle School consistently ranks in the top 25% of Illinois middle schools, with strong academic performance. The school's English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates are significantly higher than the state averages, and its performance on the Illinois Science Assessment is also impressive. The school particularly excels for Hispanic and Disabled student subgroups, ranking in the top 25% and top 5% of Illinois middle schools, respectively. However, the school's performance for Asian and English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroups is relatively lower, ranking in the bottom 25% of Illinois middle schools. Additionally, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 3.6% in 2019-2020 to 20.2% in 2021-2022, which is an area the school should address.

Compared to nearby schools, Haven Middle School and Oliver McCracken Middle School have higher overall rankings and stronger performance in certain subgroups, such as Asian and ELL students. This suggests that while Lincoln Hall Middle School is a high-performing school, there may be opportunities for improvement, particularly in addressing the rising chronic absenteeism and ensuring equitable outcomes for all student subgroups.

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.
