Summary

Lincoln Northeast High School is a public high school in Lincoln, Nebraska, serving 1,769 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Lincoln Public Schools district, which is ranked 95 out of 115 districts in the state.

Despite being part of the Lincoln Public Schools district, Lincoln Northeast High School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 26.85% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts, compared to 41.46% for the Lincoln Public Schools district and 42.74% for the state. The school also has lower four-year graduation rates and significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, Lincoln Northeast High School is located within a few miles of two other Lincoln Public Schools high schools, Lincoln East High School and North Star High School, which have significantly higher academic performance and lower chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that the challenges faced by Lincoln Northeast High School may be unique to the school and not necessarily reflective of the broader district.
