Lincoln

The Lincoln school district in Rhode Island consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. Overall, the district ranks 18th out of 60 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Two schools stand out in the district: Lincoln Central Elementary and Lincoln Senior High School. Lincoln Central Elementary ranks 5th out of 166 Rhode Island elementary schools and has exceptional proficiency rates in English Language Arts (62.8%) and Mathematics (68.8%), far exceeding the district and state averages. Lincoln Senior High School ranks 9th out of 61 Rhode Island high schools and has strong performance on standardized tests, with 65.7% proficiency in SAT English Language Arts and 38.9% in SAT Mathematics.

However, there are notable performance gaps between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing schools in the district, such as Northern Lincoln Elementary and Lonsdale Elementary. The data does not show a clear correlation between per-student spending and academic performance, suggesting that other factors may be at play. Further analysis could explore the relationship between demographics, such as free/reduced lunch rates, and student outcomes across the Lincoln district.
