Lincoln High

Summary:

Lincoln High is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Lincoln, Missouri, with a total enrollment of 253 students. The school is part of the Lincoln R-II School District, which is ranked 60 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Lincoln High's key strengths is its consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 94.5% to 100% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 22.2% in 2023-2024, which is still better than the nearby Smith-Cotton High School (17.3%) and Morgan County R-I High (16.7%). Lincoln High's performance on state assessments is mixed, with some subject areas, such as 7th grade Mathematics and 8th grade Science, outperforming the state and district, while others, like Biology I and Algebra I, lag behind.

Interestingly, Lincoln High's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly over the years, from a high of 36th out of 468 Missouri high schools in 2017-2018 to a low of 326th out of 460 in 2018-2019. This suggests inconsistent performance, and the school's relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (53.75%) may be a contributing factor. However, Lincoln High has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.7 to 13.5, which could provide more personalized instruction for students.

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.
