High Schools in Lincoln

The Lincoln Junior/Senior High is the sole high school serving the Lincoln area, providing education for grades 6-12. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a statewide ranking ranging from 123 out of 324 Kansas high schools in 2021-2022 to 237 out of 318 in 2023-2024, its academic outcomes have been mixed compared to state averages.

In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) were below the state average for 10th grade but above the state average for all grades. Similarly, its Mathematics proficiency rates were below the state average for 10th grade but above the state average for all grades. The school's Science proficiency rates were also below the state average for 11th grade but above the state average for all grades. This suggests that while the school may be struggling in certain academic areas, it is performing better overall compared to the state.

The school faces some socioeconomic challenges, with a relatively high percentage of students (58.86%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $11,969 for the 2018-2019 school year is relatively high, indicating that the district may be allocating significant resources to support the school. However, it's unclear how these resources are being utilized to improve student learning and achievement.
