Summary:
The 67455 zip code is home to two schools: Lincoln Junior/Senior High and Lincoln Elementary. While both schools have seen a decline in their statewide rankings over the past few years, they continue to serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced lunch rates exceeding 55% at both institutions.
Lincoln Junior/Senior High has experienced a concerning drop in its statewide ranking, falling from 123rd out of 324 Kansas high schools in 2021-2022 to 237th out of 318 in 2023-2024. This suggests the school's performance may be declining relative to other high schools in the state. Similarly, Lincoln Elementary has seen its statewide ranking drop from 180th out of 668 in 2021-2022 to 279th out of 653 in 2023-2024, indicating its performance may also be declining compared to other elementary schools.
Despite the higher spending per student at both Lincoln Junior/Senior High and Lincoln Elementary, the academic performance, as measured by test scores, is still below the state average in many areas. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the resource allocation and the need to explore ways to improve the educational outcomes for students in the Lincoln school district.
