Best Public Schools in Lincoln, MT

Summary:

The city of Lincoln, Montana is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Lincoln K-12 Schools district. While the district is ranked 80 out of 227 in the state and rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, the standout school appears to be Lincoln Elementary School, which has consistently ranked highly in the state and earned a 5-star rating.

Lincoln Elementary School has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 149th in 2021-2022 to 22nd in 2023-2024. The school outperforms the district and state averages in all three subject areas (Mathematics, Reading, and Science) for the 2023-2024 school year. In contrast, the middle school, Lincoln 7-8, lags behind the district and state averages in Mathematics and Reading.

Across all three schools, the free and reduced lunch rate is 100%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The schools also have consistent spending per student of $13,411 for the 2018-2019 school year. While the elementary school's performance is noteworthy, the data suggests potential areas for improvement at the middle and high school levels, and the economic challenges faced by the Lincoln community should be considered when analyzing the schools' performance and developing strategies to support student success.
