The school's four-year graduation rate of 89.0% is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is higher than the state average.
Despite the school's academic struggles, its relatively small student population and low student-teacher ratio could be an advantage, as it may allow for more personalized attention and support for students. However, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (43.84%) indicates that Lincolnwood High School serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which may be contributing to the school's academic challenges. The Panhandle CUSD 2 district that Lincolnwood High School is a part of is ranked 498 out of 811 districts in Illinois and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
