Summary

Lincoln College Prep is a public magnet high school located in Kansas City, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 958 students. This school stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently outperforming the broader Kansas City 33 school district and the state of Missouri on standardized test scores.

One of the key factors that differentiates Lincoln College Prep is its exceptional academic performance.

Additionally, the school has maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 73.5% to 99.4% over the past few years, significantly higher than the graduation rates of the nearby schools in the Kansas City 33 district. While Lincoln College Prep's chronic absenteeism rates are higher than the state average, they are still lower than the nearby district schools, which have rates around 55%.

The school's success extends beyond just academic performance, as it has also been effective in providing an equitable and inclusive learning environment. Lincoln College Prep's strong performance across diverse student subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, and low-socioeconomic status students, is a remarkable achievement, especially given the challenges faced by many urban schools. This level of academic excellence and equity is a testament to the school's dedication to ensuring all students have access to a high-quality education.
