The school is part of the Walla Walla Public Schools district, which is ranked 156 out of 249 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Walla Walla Public Schools district, Lincoln High School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Washington state, with rankings between 301 and 442 out of 400-450 high schools over the past decade. The school's student subgroups, including female, male, Hispanic, and white students, all rank in the bottom 10-20% of high schools in the state, and its performance for low socioeconomic status students is particularly concerning, ranking in the bottom 10%. Lincoln High School's four-year graduation rates have ranged from a low of 44% to a high of 88.5% in recent years, and its dropout rates have been high, ranging from 5.7% to 33.3% over the same period.

In contrast, nearby Walla Walla High School performs significantly better, ranking 157 out of 442 high schools in the state and having a 96.5% four-year graduation rate. The high percentage of low-income and minority students at Lincoln High School, coupled with its poor academic performance, suggests that the school faces significant challenges in supporting the educational needs of these student populations. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for the school's students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
