Summary

Lincoln Junior/Senior High School is a public school in Alma Center, WI, serving about 250 students in grades 7–12 as part of the Alma Center School District. The district ranks 369th of 432 Wisconsin districts (15th percentile, 1 star), while the school ranked 362nd of 533 schools in 2025–26 (32nd percentile, 2 stars), so it currently outperforms its district overall. Its rank history is volatile: 52nd percentile in 2023–24, then 34th in 2024–25 and 32nd in 2025–26.

Attendance is Lincoln's clearest strength. Chronic absenteeism was 8.2% in 2024–25, less than half the state's 17.3% and far below Blair-Taylor Middle/High (16.4%), Neillsville High (19.7%), Osseo-Fairchild High (23.9%), and Black River Falls High (28.4%) — notable given that 48.8% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. Test results are uneven but include bright spots: 7th grade ELA (65.63%) and math (56.25%) beat both the state and Blair-Taylor, and 10th grade ACT ELA proficiency (53.33%) tops the state's 48.47% and every nearby school. Class sizes are small (student-teacher ratio 11.7) and per-pupil spending is $17,136.

Areas to watch: 8th grade ELA drops to 37.5%, below the state and Blair-Taylor, while 10th grade social studies proficiency is 22.92% — the lowest among nearby schools. The 2024–25 graduation rate of 87.5% trails the state's 92.0% and every nearby school, though the dropout rate remains low at 1.2%. Subgroup effectiveness is mixed: low-SES students rank at the 50th percentile, above the school's overall standing, while special education students (12th percentile) and male students (17th percentile) are clear priorities.
