Summary

Lincoln High is a public high school serving 1,184 students in grades 9-12 within the Western Placer Unified school district in Lincoln, CA, ranking in the 61st percentile statewide with a strong 95% graduation rate.

The school shows a clear strength in guiding students to graduation, with rates consistently above state and district averages, and has made notable improvements in reducing chronic absenteeism and supporting English Learner students. However, a significant challenge exists in mathematics proficiency, where at 28%, performance is well below the state average and notably lower than nearby schools like Twelve Bridges High (40%), West Park High (46%), and Del Oro High (55%). Lincoln High serves a higher percentage of students with economic need than many of these comparison schools and spends more per student than some, including its district peer Twelve Bridges High, yet these resources have not yet closed the academic gap.

While the school's overall statewide ranking has declined from higher historical positions, it maintains effective support for some student groups and a successful graduation pathway. The proximity of very high-performing schools like Western Sierra Collegiate Academy and Rocklin High highlights an opportunity gap in the region, suggesting Lincoln High faces the dual task of addressing core academic deficits in subjects like math while continuing its successful work in student engagement and graduation support.
