Summary:
The Manitowoc School District has only one high school, Lincoln High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been consistently below the state and district averages, with a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger and a ranking of 369 out of 431 Wisconsin high schools for the 2024-2025 school year.
Lincoln High's four-year graduation rate is 91.0%, slightly lower than the state average, and its dropout rate is 1.3%. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, at 17.7% for the 2023-2024 school year. Academically, Lincoln High's test scores in subjects like social studies, English language arts, mathematics, and science are generally lower than the state and district averages. Additionally, nearly half of the school's students (46.19%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant socioeconomic need among the student population.
While Lincoln High's performance is concerning, the data suggests that addressing the root causes of the school's underperformance, such as high chronic absenteeism and the needs of its socioeconomically disadvantaged student population, could be crucial for improving the educational experience and outcomes for students in the Manitowoc School District.
