Lincoln

The Lincoln school district in Rhode Island consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in Lincoln generally perform well on state assessments, with several schools exceeding the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

The standout schools in the district are Lincoln Central Elementary, which is ranked 4th out of 166 Rhode Island elementary schools and has exceptional test scores, and Lincoln Senior High School, which is ranked 9th out of 60 Rhode Island high schools and has strong test scores and a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84%. However, the data also reveals a significant gap in performance between the top-performing schools and some of the lower-performing schools, such as Northern Lincoln Elementary and Lonsdale Elementary, which tend to have higher free/reduced lunch rates and lower test scores.

The variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the district suggests that these factors alone do not necessarily translate to higher performance. Other factors, such as instructional practices and school leadership, likely play a significant role in student outcomes. The data provides a comprehensive view of the schools in Lincoln and highlights both areas of strength and opportunities for improvement within the district.
