Summary:
The Lincoln school district in Kansas consists of two schools - Lincoln Junior/Senior High and Lincoln Elementary. While Lincoln Elementary has consistently high test scores, outperforming the state averages, Lincoln Junior/Senior High has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and rating over the past few years.
Lincoln Elementary stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with 71.42% of 3rd graders proficient or better in KAP Mathematics, compared to the state average of 50.23%. In contrast, Lincoln Junior/Senior High has dropped from 123rd out of 324 Kansas high schools in 2021-2022 to 237th out of 318 in 2023-2024, and its rating has decreased from 3 stars to 1 star during this time.
While both schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, over 50%, the higher spending per student at Lincoln Elementary ($14,122) compared to Lincoln Junior/Senior High ($11,969) suggests the elementary school may be allocating resources more effectively to support student learning.
