Summary:
Lincoln has one listed high school, Lincoln Junior/Senior High, serving grades 6–12 and enrolling 181 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grades proficiency was 51% in science and 48% in math, compared with Kansas rates of 38% and 41%; in ELA, it was 43%, below the state’s 46%. The school’s clearest strength is science, while ELA is the main area to watch.
Because Lincoln Junior/Senior High is the only school listed, it is both the highest- and lowest-scoring school in this group by default; that does not show how it compares with other schools nearby. Its all-grades results were 13 percentage points above Kansas in science, 7 points above in math, and 3 points below in ELA. Grade-level ELA results show why the overall figure can hide important differences: grade 10 was 64% versus 41% statewide, and grade 7 was 50% versus 44%. Grade 6 was 26% versus 42%, while grade 8 was 28% versus 42%.
All-grades test scores declined from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA fell 7 percentage points, math 1 point, and science 5 points. The school’s advantage over Kansas narrowed in all three subjects, and ELA shifted from 6 points above the state to 3 points below it. SchoolDigger’s ranking improved from 237th of 318 schools, in the 25th percentile with 1 star in 2023–2024, to 19th of 340, in the 94th percentile with 5 stars in 2025–2026. Other context includes a student-teacher ratio of 11.5 and a free/reduced-lunch rate of 58%.
