Lincoln Public Schools


Summary:

The Lincoln Public Schools district in Nebraska encompasses 66 schools, including 46 elementary schools, 12 middle schools, and 8 high schools, serving students from pre-K through 12th grade.

Several schools in the district stand out as high-performing, including Scott Middle School, Lux Middle School, Sheridan Elementary School, Kloefkorn Elementary, and Adams Elementary School. These schools have earned high rankings and ratings, with strong test scores and academic performance. However, the district also faces challenges, with significant disparities in student achievement and a high rate of chronic absenteeism across the schools.

The district also sees wide variations in funding and resources, with per-student spending ranging from $12,387 to $24,915 per school. Addressing these inequities and implementing targeted interventions could help the Lincoln Public Schools district improve educational equity and student success across all its schools.
