Best Public Schools in Lincoln, KS

Summary:

The city of Lincoln, Kansas is home to two schools - Lincoln Junior/Senior High and Lincoln Elementary. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 12th grade within the Lincoln school district.

Lincoln Elementary stands out as a consistently high-performing school, consistently ranking in the top half of Kansas elementary schools and outperforming the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. The school also spends more per student compared to Lincoln Junior/Senior High. In contrast, while Lincoln Junior/Senior High is still rated 3 out of 5 stars, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 123 out of 324 Kansas high schools in 2021-2022 to 237 out of 318 in 2023-2024.

Both schools face challenges related to their high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. This may present unique challenges and require targeted support. The resource allocation, with Lincoln Elementary spending more per student, suggests a focus on early education and investment in the elementary school level within the district.
