Lincoln College Prep.

Summary:

Lincoln College Prep is a public magnet high school in Kansas City, Missouri, serving 897 students in grades 9-12. Despite being part of the low-performing Kansas City 33 school district, Lincoln College Prep stands out as an exceptional academic institution, consistently ranking among the top high schools in the state.

Lincoln College Prep's academic performance is truly remarkable, with the school ranking 41st out of 378 Missouri high schools in the 2023-2024 school year and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. This is in stark contrast to the other nearby high schools, such as Central High School and Northeast High, which are all ranked in the bottom half of Missouri high schools and have 0 or 1-star ratings. Lincoln College Prep's students significantly outperform the district and state averages on the MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) end-of-course exams, with 77.5% of students proficient or better in English II, compared to just 39.6% for the Kansas City 33 district and 51.3% for the state.

What makes Lincoln College Prep's success even more remarkable is that it serves a predominantly low-socioeconomic status student population, with 99.67% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the school has consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 73.5% to 99.4% over the past few years, far exceeding the 86.5% four-year graduation rate reported for the other nearby high schools. Lincoln College Prep's ability to provide a high-quality education to a predominantly low-income student population is a testament to the school's commitment to equity and excellence, and its success could provide valuable insights for other schools and districts seeking to improve educational outcomes for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

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.
