Summary:
Lincoln International High School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the Minneapolis, Minnesota area, with a total enrollment of 165 students. Despite maintaining a relatively high 84.2% four-year graduation rate, the school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in Math and Reading well below the state averages.
The school's test scores are particularly concerning, with only 15.69% of 11th graders proficient or better in MCA-III Math and just 4.65% of 10th graders proficient or better in MCA-III Reading, compared to state averages of 34.96% and 51.26%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high 4.4% dropout rate, which is higher than the state average. These academic struggles may be partly attributed to the school's high-poverty population, as 100% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
However, the school does maintain a small 12.5 student-teacher ratio, which suggests it may have additional resources to provide more individualized attention to students. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of the school's academic challenges and identify potential strategies for improvement to better support the educational needs of its students.
