Summary:

Lincolnwood High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Raymond, Illinois, which is part of the Panhandle CUSD 2 district. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 64th out of 670 Illinois high schools in 2013-2014 to a low of 527th out of 697 in the current 2023-2024 school year.

Lincolnwood High School has had strong graduation rates, ranging from 82.4% to 97.1% over the past 5 years, and relatively low dropout rates, better than the state average. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.6% in 2020-2021 to 30.4% in 2022-2023. Academically, the school's test scores, particularly in mathematics, have been significantly lower than the state averages, with only 2.9% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT Mathematics, compared to the state average of 26.1%. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with male students, White students, and students with low socioeconomic status consistently performing worse than their peers statewide.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as North Mac High School, Nokomis Junior/Senior High School, Hillsboro High School, and Litchfield Senior High School, Lincolnwood High School generally performs worse on key metrics such as test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. Despite the school's increased spending per student, from $12,535 in 2019-2020 to $16,854 in 2022-2023, its academic performance does not seem to reflect this investment.

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.
