Summary

Lincoln High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in the rural town of Lincoln, Montana. With just 44 students, the school has a very low student-teacher ratio, providing individualized attention for its economically disadvantaged student population.

While Lincoln High School's students outperformed the state average in English Language Arts, they underperformed in Mathematics and Science. The school's academic performance has fluctuated over the years, ranking as high as 36th out of 119 high schools in the state, but as low as 124th out of 138 in recent years. This inconsistency suggests the school faces challenges in maintaining a consistently high level of achievement. However, the school's higher-than-average spending per student indicates a focus on providing resources and support to address the needs of its small, economically disadvantaged student population.

Lincoln High School is the only high school in the Lincoln K-12 Schools district, which is ranked 180 out of 387 districts in Montana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
