Summary:
ZIP code 47327 (Cambridge City, Indiana) has only one public high school option — Lincoln Middle/ High School — which is a combined middle/high school serving grades 7–12 with 306 students, part of Western Wayne Schools. Because it is the only school in the area, families have a single choice, and its grade-level results are identical to the district's for grades 7 and 8 since the district's elementary schools sit outside this building.
Academically, the school is rated 2 stars and ranked 215th of 415 Indiana high schools in 2025-26 (48th percentile), up from 248th of 429 the previous year. The clearest strength is literacy: 42.86% of all grades were proficient in ELA, above the district's 39.19%, and SAT reading/writing (54.55) beat the state (51.9). Biology also improved to 47.73%. Math is the opposite story — 28.57% proficient in all grades, which is 12.5 points below the district figure of 41.03%, and only 6.82% of 11th graders met the SAT math benchmark versus 25.6% statewide, a decline from 9.76% the year before. Grade 7 math (26.09%) also trails the state (35.9%). Still, both ELA and math are improving year over year, up 7.0 and 10.1 points respectively.
Graduation is a bright spot at 92.4%, 2.7 points above the state's 89.7%. Attendance is the biggest concern: chronic absenteeism is 27.6%, worse than the district (23.8%) and 10.9 points above the state (16.7%). Resources look strong on paper, with a 9.4:1 student-teacher ratio and $13,900 spent per student, while 57.52% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Overall, this is an improving school where your child is likely to read, write, and graduate well — but math support, especially in high school, and attendance are the areas to watch.
