Lincoln Junior High School

Summary:

Lincoln Junior High School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in Plymouth, Indiana, with a student population of 510. The school is part of the Plymouth Community School Corporation district, which is ranked 156 out of 381 districts in Indiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Lincoln Junior High School has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is predominantly White (70.59%) followed by Hispanic (27.06%), the school's academic performance lags behind many of its nearby counterparts. Its test scores in ILEARN/English Language Arts (39.36% proficient) and ILEARN/Math (27.11% proficient) are significantly lower than the district averages, as well as the performance of schools like North Wood Middle School and Riverside Intermediate. Additionally, Lincoln Junior High School has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 15.3% to 27.1%, which may be contributing to the lower academic outcomes.

Another area of concern is the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 47.69% to 55.49%, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students compared to the surrounding schools. While the school's spending per student has increased over the years, from $7,759 in 2018-2019 to $9,766 in 2021-2022, this higher level of funding does not appear to be translating into better academic performance. The Plymouth Community School Corporation should consider implementing targeted interventions and strategies to address these challenges and improve student outcomes at Lincoln Junior High School.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
