Summary

Lincoln Senior High School serves 973 students in grades 9–12 in Lincoln, Rhode Island. In 2025–26, its results were above the state in all five reported science and English and math measures: its advantages ranged from 15 points in science to 20 points in 10th-grade math. The clearest takeaway is that Lincoln’s 10th-grade math result was the strongest among the 10 nearby schools, at 49% proficient.

Lincoln is strong locally in math and ranks near the top in English, while science and 10th-grade English fall short of the area’s top results. It ranked first in 10th-grade math, second in 11th-grade English and math, and third in science and 10th-grade English. Its 10th-grade math result was 6 points above the next-highest result, at North Smithfield High School; in 10th-grade English, Lincoln was 3 points below North Smithfield and 6 below Davies Career-Technical High School. Lincoln’s 2024–25 graduation rate was 91%, 5 points above the state and 3 above the Lincoln district, though four nearby schools had higher rates.

Results over time are mixed: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, 10th-grade English rose by 9 points, while 11th-grade math fell by 8; 10th-grade math was nearly unchanged, and science dipped by 2 points. SchoolDigger ranks Lincoln 12th of 58 statewide, at the 79th percentile with four stars; its percentile has eased 6 points from its recent high but remains second among the 10 comparison schools. Its student-teacher ratio is 14.7, the second-highest nearby, while its free/reduced-lunch rate is 34%, the second-lowest. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness percentile for Multi-racial Students is 38, compared with 79 overall, indicating a notably lower measured standing for that group. For Special Education Students, the percentile is 48, down from 67 in 2023–24 and also below the school’s overall standing. Historical state science results were not provided, so a longer-term comparison with the state is unavailable.
