Summary

Lincoln Junior High School is a public middle school serving grades 7–8 with about 498 students in Plymouth, Indiana, part of Plymouth Community School Corp. It currently ranks 223rd of 486 Indiana schools (54th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026 — a mid-range position that has stabilized after dipping to the 41st percentile (2 stars) in 2022–2023, though still below its 67th-percentile peak in 2020–2021.

Academically, Lincoln is stronger in reading than in math. Its 2025–2026 ILEARN English/language arts proficiency of 37.88% is above the district's 34.97%, while math sits at 31.82% against a district figure of 40.83% — a gap that has persisted for several years. Seventh grade is the clear pressure point: 7th-grade ELA is 28.7% (state: 41.7%) and 7th-grade math is 29.6% (state: 35.9%). By contrast, 8th-grade ELA (46.44%) is above the state's 44%, and 8th-grade math (33.89%) is essentially at the state's 34.2%. Among nearby schools, Harold C Urey Middle School (47.55% ELA) and North Wood Middle School (58.70% ELA, 67.39% math) outperform Lincoln, while Jackson Middle School trails far behind at 8.04% ELA and 1.90% math.

Attendance is a bright spot: chronic absenteeism of 11.5% is well below the state's 16.7% and down from 27.1% in 2020–2021, though Knox Community Middle School reports just 6.3%. About 57.23% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and per-student spending has risen to $12,325 from $8,499 in 2020–2021, with a 13.7 student-teacher ratio. Higher-performing North Wood and Urey achieve more while spending less, suggesting money alone isn't the deciding factor. The bottom line: a solidly average school whose clearest opportunity is math, especially in 7th grade.
