Lincoln High School is a public high school located in Portland, Oregon, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,579 students. It is part of the Portland School District 1J, which is ranked 13th out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Lincoln High School has consistently been ranked among the top high schools in Oregon, with a current ranking of 15th out of 270 high schools in the state and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln High School consistently outperforms the Portland School District 1J and the state of Oregon in academic proficiency. In the 2024-2025 school year, 70.4% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 53.4% for the district and 44.4% for the state. In mathematics, 40.3% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better, compared to 29.9% for the district and 20.3% for the state. Lincoln High School also ranks among the top schools in Oregon for various student subgroups, including female students, male students, Asian students, Hispanic students, White students, multi-racial students, and students with special needs.

While Lincoln High School consistently outperforms the district and state averages, some nearby schools, such as Grant High School and Cleveland High School, also demonstrate strong academic performance and are ranked among the top high schools in Oregon. This suggests that the Portland School District 1J is home to several high-performing schools. However, Lincoln High School's relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (14.63% in 2023-2024) indicates that it serves a more affluent student population compared to some of its neighbors, such as Franklin High School (41.19%) and Jefferson High School (61.52%).
