Summary:
Zip code 66736 has three schools serving pre-K through grade 12: Fredonia Early Learning Center, Lincoln Elementary, and Fredonia Junior/Senior High School; together, they enroll 648 students. The Early Learning Center has no test scores in the supplied data, while the other two schools’ 2025–26 results are below state averages in two subjects apiece. The most important takeaway is that results differ considerably by subject and grade, so an all-grades score can hide meaningful differences for students.
Lincoln stands out in science and math: its science proficiency is 42%, 14 points above the high school and 3 points above the state’s 38%; its math is 34%, compared with 30% at the high school, though both are below the state’s 41%. The high school leads in ELA, at 39% versus Lincoln’s 35%, but both trail the state’s 46%. Within Lincoln, sixth-grade ELA and math are each 51%, above state results of 42% and 41%. By contrast, Lincoln’s ELA is below the state in grades 3–5, including 28% in grade 5 versus 51% statewide. The high school’s eleventh-grade science is also weak, at 12% versus 30% statewide. Its graduation rate is a bright spot: 95%, compared with 90% statewide. SchoolDigger places the high school at the 24th percentile statewide and Lincoln at the 26th.
Recent score trends are mixed: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, the high school gained 10 points in ELA and 9 in math but lost 5 in science; Lincoln lost 7 points in ELA and 8 in science, while math was nearly unchanged. Across the two schools, the gap with the state narrowed in ELA and math but widened in science. SchoolDigger’s percentile rankings also moved in different directions: the high school rose from the 13th percentile in 2023–24 to the 24th in 2025–26, while Lincoln fell from the 55th to the 26th. Lincoln’s student-teacher ratio is 11.1, compared with 14.4 at the high school; their free/reduced-lunch rates are similar, at 51% and 50%. These figures describe the schools but do not establish what explains their results.
