Summary:

In the 98418 zip code of Tacoma, Washington, there is one public high school, Lincoln High School, serving grades 9-12 within the Tacoma School District.

Lincoln High School presents a mixed picture for families. On one hand, the school excels at helping students graduate, with a 91.6% graduation rate that surpasses both the district and state averages, and it has shown recent improvement in its statewide ranking. On the other hand, standardized test scores, especially in mathematics where only 14.7% of students are proficient, are significantly below average, indicating many graduates may not be mastering core academic content.

The school serves a high-need population, with over 70% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and it spends above the national average per student. While the school is on a positive trajectory, the stark gap between its strong graduation rates and low test scores suggests parents should look closely at the academic support and curriculum, particularly in math and science, to understand how the school ensures students are prepared for life after high school.
