Lincoln Middle

Lincoln Middle earns a composite score of 9.0/10, placing it in Exceptional territory against the full field of California public schools. Out of 9,533 public schools statewide, Lincoln ranks #246 — outperforming 97% of California schools. The middle school standing is equally strong: #18 of 1,349 middle schools statewide, putting it in the top 2% of its grade-level peers.

Academic and growth scores of 9.1 and 9.2 respectively signal both high current achievement and consistent student progress over time. Growth is particularly telling — it measures how much students advance relative to similar peers, not just where they start. Lincoln serves 884 students across grades 6 through 8.

The student-teacher ratio of 20.1:1 is worth noting for parents who prioritize smaller-group access to teachers. Locally, Lincoln holds the #3 spot among Santa Monica's 12 public schools. For families comparing options across the broader Los Angeles area, the statewide rank is the clearest signal: #18 among 1,349 California middle schools puts Lincoln well ahead of the field in its grade band.

The student-teacher ratio at Lincoln Middle is 20.1:1, which is higher than the national average. This may mean larger class sizes, so parents should ask about classroom support, teaching assistants, and how the school differentiates instruction for students who need extra help.
