Summary

Lincoln Park High School is a large public high school in Lincoln Park, MI, serving 1,384 students in grades 9-12 within the Lincoln Park School District of the City of, where nearly 79% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

When you look at the numbers, Lincoln Park High School presents a mixed picture. On one hand, its graduation rate is a real strength: at 86.4% for 2024-2025, it beats the state average of 84.0% and is competitive with nearby schools like Annapolis High School (86.3%). On the other hand, test scores tell a different story. Proficiency on the SAT and M-Step runs roughly half the state average, and math is especially concerning—only about 7% of 11th graders meet the college-readiness benchmark in SAT Math, a figure that has stayed consistently low for several years. This "graduation vs. proficiency" gap suggests the school may be effective at helping students earn diplomas, but many are not reaching academic mastery along the way. Chronic absenteeism is also a major issue, affecting 43.5% of students—well above the state rate of 27.9% and higher than at nearby Allen Park High School (27.8%).

Compared to its neighbors, Lincoln Park sits in the middle of the pack academically. It outperforms River Rouge High School and Ecorse Community High School, but lags well behind Allen Park High School and Roosevelt High School. Notably, Lincoln Park spends a hefty $27,341 per student—far more than Allen Park's $15,207—yet that extra funding hasn't translated into higher test scores. There is one bright spot: African American students at Lincoln Park ranked in the 52nd percentile statewide in 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating, which stands out against the school's overall 1-star rating. For parents, this school offers a supportive path to graduation, but you'll want to ask about math support and attendance initiatives if your child struggles in those areas.
