About Lincoln Academy

Lincoln Academy educates about 620 grade 4–8 students in Guilford County Schools. With a student–teacher ratio of about 16 : 1 and some 37.6 full-time teachers, class sizes are understandably small and allow for one-on-one teaching.

Academically, an estimated 51 % of students score at or above mathematics proficiency and an estimated 61 % score at reading proficiency on state tests—near state average, even with demographic diversity.

Students are highly diverse: about 53 % Black, 18 % Asian, 15 % White, 10 % Hispanic, and about 6 % multiracial; nearly 100 % are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Faculty consists of about 39 full-time teachers and some counselors to meet student needs. Local median housing costs in surrounding neighborhoods are about $221,000, indicative of relatively affordable housing. Lincoln Academy is famous for its STEM and global studies magnet themes, encouraging resilience, equity, and community in a city-center setting.
