Summary:
Lincoln International High School is the only school in the Lincoln International High School district in Minneapolis, MN. It serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 158 students, so there are no other schools in this area to compare against — the meaningful benchmark is the state of Minnesota. Because the district contains just this one school, district and school figures are identical on every metric.
Academically, the school ranks in the bottom tier of Minnesota schools: 401 of 458 schools in the current listing, at the 12th percentile with 1 star, and its rank history for 2023–2024, 2024–2025, and 2025–2026 shows a similar position each year (percentiles of 17, 13, and 15). In 2025–2026, reading proficiency was 5% versus 48.6% statewide for all grades and 42.5% for 10th grade — the largest gap in the data. Math proficiency was 14.8%, compared with 44.9% statewide for all grades and 35.3% for 11th grade. Science was the closest subject to state performance at 19.2%, against 25.5% statewide for all grades and 35% on the state End-of-Course measure, and it edged up slightly from 18.75% the prior year. Math declined slightly from 15.69%, and reading rose nominally from 4.65%, though the reading exam label changed between years, so that comparison should be read with caution.
Graduation and dropout outcomes are major concerns: in 2024–2025 the graduation rate was 51.7% versus 84.9% statewide, and the dropout rate was 12.0% against 4.2% statewide, nearly three times the state rate. Every student (100%) was eligible for free/reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio was a favorable 10.1 — about 16 teachers for 158 students. With only 158 students, small shifts in student counts can move percentages noticeably, so year-to-year changes should be interpreted carefully.
