Summary

Lincoln Middle School is a well-regarded public middle school serving 643 students in grades 6-8 within the highly-ranked Pullman School District in Washington.

The school consistently performs in the top 15-20% of middle schools statewide, with strong academic results that exceed state averages in English, math, and science. A particular strength is its effective support for economically disadvantaged students, who perform exceptionally well compared to similar groups across Washington. While the school excels overall, there is a noted opportunity for growth in mathematics, as it lags slightly behind its own high performance in English. The school has shown resilience and stable performance over many years, including through recent challenging periods.

Compared to the much smaller nearby Palouse at Garfield Middle School, Lincoln Middle School demonstrates more consistent academic results across all grades and subjects, benefits from significantly greater per-student funding, and operates at a scale that allows for more comprehensive programs. However, this comparison also highlights questions about resource efficiency, as the smaller school achieves comparable English scores with far less spending, though it struggles dramatically in math. Parents can be confident in Lincoln's proven track record and district support, while noting the school's increasing student-to-teacher ratio as an area to watch.

Principal Grow, teachers and staff are wonderful. They are really compromised with the education of our children. Classes are well prepared, the school has everything they need to improve the development of teens, and teachers know each student and help them to grow and succeed. Close Quote

I used to go to Lincoln Middle school but now I moved to Lynnwood and go to Voyager Middle school in Everrett and I hate it! The school is very bad and completely different than Lincoln! Close Quote
