Lincoln Secondary

Summary:

Lincoln Secondary is a public high school located in Lake City, Minnesota, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 587 students. The school is part of the Wabasha-Kellogg School District, which is ranked 246 out of 463 districts in Minnesota and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Lincoln Secondary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (87.22%) compared to nearby schools like Red Wing Senior High (75.98%), its academic performance, as measured by MCA-III test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages. For instance, in 2023-2024, only 17.02% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in MCA-III Math, compared to the state average of 34.99%. However, Lincoln Secondary has a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 88.3% to 91.9% over the past five years, which is higher than the nearby Pathways Program Grades 8-12 school (75.0% in 2019-2020).

The school has also seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 18.91% in 2021-2022 to 34.07% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the nearby Goodhue Secondary (24.44%) and Wabasha-Kellogg Secondary (32.85%) schools. This suggests that Lincoln Secondary may be facing growing socioeconomic challenges, which could have implications for the school's ability to support student learning and well-being. However, the proximity of Lincoln Secondary to other schools in the region may present opportunities for collaboration and the sharing of best practices to address these challenges.

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.
