Lincoln Middle School consistently ranks among the top middle schools in Illinois, ranking 146th out of 1,363 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and receiving a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly higher than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with 65.7% of all students proficient or better in ELA and 48.4% proficient or better in Math, compared to state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%, respectively. Lincoln Middle School's performance is also consistently higher than the Park Ridge CCSD 64 district average, indicating that it is one of the top-performing schools within the district. The school's female, Hispanic, and special education students perform exceptionally well, ranking among the top in the state.

Compared to nearby schools, Emerson Middle School, which is also part of the Park Ridge CCSD 64 district, Lincoln Middle School significantly outperforms in both ELA and Math proficiency rates. However, the school's performance for its Asian and White student subgroups is not as strong as its performance for female and Hispanic students, suggesting that the school may need to focus on addressing the needs of these subgroups to ensure equitable outcomes. Additionally, while Lincoln Middle School's chronic absenteeism rate is relatively low, it has seen an increase in recent years, from 2.0% in 2019-2020 to 9.4% in 2021-2022, which the school may want to investigate and address.

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.
