Summary

Lincoln Middle School is a public middle school located in Warren, Michigan, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 368 students. The school is part of the Van Dyke Public Schools district, which is ranked 550 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Lincoln Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Michigan middle schools, with a ranking between 668 and 833 over the past several years, and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Middle School's academic performance is significantly below the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 20.7% of 6th-grade students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 38.6%. In math, the proficiency rates were even lower, with only 9.2% of 6th-graders and 4.72% of 7th-graders meeting the proficiency standard, compared to the state averages of 31.5% and 33.3%, respectively. The school also has extremely high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 29.5% to 59.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Lincoln Middle School to nearby schools, such as Warren Woods Middle School, it becomes clear that the school is struggling significantly compared to its peers. Warren Woods Middle School, located just 3.57 miles away, has significantly higher academic proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and a higher school ranking. This suggests that the challenges faced by Lincoln Middle School are not solely due to its geographic location or the broader economic conditions of the area.
