Summary

Lincoln High School is a 9–12 public high school in Vincennes, Indiana, serving 704 students as part of the Vincennes Community School Corp. For 2025–2026 it ranked 256 of 415 Indiana high schools (38th percentile, 2 stars), slightly above its district's overall standing but still below the state median. Historically it has been a mostly 2-star school, with its rank percentile drifting between the low 20s and low 50s over the past decade.

Lincoln's clearest strength is graduation: 98.7% in 2024–2025 and 100% the year before — the highest rate among nearby schools, ahead of South Knox Middle-High School (97.9%), North Knox Junior-Senior High School (97.3%), Washington High School (95.2%), Princeton Community High School (95.1%), and Washington Learning Academy (85.2%). Its clearest challenge is chronic absenteeism, at 24.2% in 2024–2025 — better than Washington Learning Academy (67.5%) and Washington High School (35.1%) and close to North Knox (23.8%), but higher than the district (18.9%), the state (16.7%), Princeton (10.2%), and South Knox (17.4%). It did improve from 34.5% the prior year.

Academically, Lincoln generally beats its own district but trails Indiana averages. In 2025–2026, SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing was 43.62% proficient (district 38.37%, state 51.9%) and SAT Math was 16.11% (district 14.53%, state 25.6%). Biology ILEARN was 36.77%, up substantially from 13.89% in 2022–2023, while SAT Math has been volatile; Lincoln outscored South Knox in 2025–2026 math (16.11% vs. 9.76%) even though South Knox was far higher the year before. Resources have trended favorably: per-student spending rose to $12,072, the student-teacher ratio improved to 14.9, and the free/reduced-lunch rate fell to 45.17%. Effectiveness varies by student group — special education students improved from the 17th to the 46th percentile — which may suggest where targeted academic supports help most.
