Summary

Lincoln High School is a small public school serving 186 students in grades 6-12 within the Walla Walla Public Schools district, operating as a critical alternative education option for the community.

The school serves a student population with very high economic need and, according to standard state test scores, has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in Washington. For example, its proficiency rates in English and Science are less than half the state averages. This stands in stark contrast to the comprehensive Walla Walla High School in the same district, which has significantly higher test scores. However, Lincoln High School achieves a notably high graduation rate of 91%, which exceeds the state average and is close to the district average, suggesting a strong focus on helping at-risk students earn their diplomas through alternative pathways.

When compared to other local alternative programs like Walla Walla Open Doors, Lincoln shows much stronger graduation outcomes. The school's profile—with its small size, wide grade range, high graduation rate despite low test scores, and significant year-to-year performance fluctuations—indicates it is evaluated by conventional metrics that may not fully capture its specialized mission of supporting students who have struggled in traditional settings.
