Summary:
The Lincoln R-II school district in Missouri is home to a single high school, Lincoln High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has a strong four-year graduation rate of 97.3% for the 2023-2024 school year, but also faces challenges with a chronic absenteeism rate of 16.9%.
Academically, Lincoln High has shown mixed performance. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were above the state average in English Language Arts for 7th grade (55.8% vs. 39.4%) and Algebra I (47.6% vs. 45.4%), but below the state average in Science for 8th grade (33.3% vs. 39.2%) and Biology I (34.3% vs. 37.3%). The school's proficiency rates were also below the state average in most subjects in 2023-2024, including English Language Arts for 7th grade (33.2% vs. 37.8%) and Biology I (23.8% vs. 37.4%).
Despite these academic challenges, Lincoln High has maintained a relatively consistent performance over the past few years, with a SchoolDigger ranking between 136 and 224 out of 367 Missouri high schools. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students (55.69%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a population with lower socioeconomic status, which may impact academic performance. The school's spending per student of $10,520 for the 2021-2022 school year is relatively high, but it's unclear how these resources are being utilized to support student learning and achievement.
