Lincoln County

The schools in Lincoln County, Tennessee include 5 elementary schools, 1 high school, and 2 alternative schools, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade. While the district has some high-performing schools, such as Lincoln County High School and Unity School, there is also significant variation in academic achievement across the district, with some schools, like Highland Rim School, performing below the county and state averages.

The standout schools in the district include Lincoln County High School, which ranks 63rd out of 374 Tennessee high schools and earns a 4-star rating, as well as Unity School and Blanche School, both of which are high-performing elementary/middle schools. These schools excel in subjects like Math, English Language Arts, and Science, with proficiency rates well above the district and state averages.

The two alternative schools in the district, Lincoln Central Virtual Academy and Lincoln Central Academy, face unique challenges and have significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the other schools in the district. Additionally, the district's predominantly white student population may suggest potential equity concerns that warrant further investigation.
