However, Lincoln Hall Middle School's relatively high per-student spending of $25,180 and low student-teacher ratio of 9:1 provide students with more individualized attention and support. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 20.3% to 26.3% over the past few years, is an area of concern that may impact its overall academic performance.
