Summary:
The Lincoln Consolidated School District in Michigan has only one middle school, Lincoln Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's academic performance is generally below the state averages in Michigan, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies lagging behind the state benchmarks. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.1%, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.
Compared to the state, Lincoln Middle School has a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 55.72% of its population receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's student-teacher ratio of 18.2 is slightly higher than the state average, and its per-student spending of $16,752 is relatively high. However, these resources have not translated into strong academic outcomes, as the school ranks between 588 and 654 out of 897 middle schools in Michigan and has a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Lincoln Middle School is underperforming compared to the state, its performance is often on par with or slightly better than the overall performance of the Lincoln Consolidated School District, suggesting that the district as a whole may be facing similar challenges. The school and district leadership may need to focus on targeted interventions and strategies to address the low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and other factors that are hindering student success.
