Summary

Lincoln Park High School is a grades 9–12 school in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood, part of Chicago Public Schools District 299, with 2,214 students. Its 2025–2026 test results are strong, but the most important concern for families is how often students miss school: chronic absenteeism was 57%, compared with 39% districtwide and 24% statewide. The rate was also about 54% on average at the nearby schools.

Academically, Lincoln Park stands out among nearby schools: it had the second-highest reported score in every listed subject-and-grade comparison, behind only Payton College Preparatory High School. On the grade 11 ACT, 70% were proficient in ELA, 61% in math and 68% in science—about 20, 21 and 20 percentage points above state results, respectively, and 31, 33 and 31 points above district results. Science in grades 9 and 10 is a relative soft spot: the state advantage was 9 points in grade 9 and 13 in grade 10, smaller than Lincoln Park’s ELA advantages in those grades, though results remained above state and district levels. Graduation is less strong than test performance: the rate was 88%, 5 points above the district but 2 points below the state.

SchoolDigger ranks Lincoln Park 69th of 620 statewide, in the 89th percentile with 4 stars, and second among the 10 nearby schools. Results have moved in different directions: grade 11 ACT math proficiency rose from 50% to 61% year over year, while ELA fell from 75% to 70%. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves Multi-racial Students fell from the 80th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 35th in 2025–2026, compared with the school’s overall 89th percentile. The school also has the nearby group’s highest reported student–teacher ratio: 17.0 in 2024–2025, versus 4.4–15.8 at other schools. Its free/reduced lunch eligible measure was 44% in 2024–2025, the second-lowest among nearby schools with the same measure and year.
