Graduation rates in Lincoln County schools rose in the 2022-23 school year, according to the Maine Department of Education.

There were 308 students who received a diploma that year, which was 1.4% higher than the previous school year.

The students' performance is lower than the statewide average of 87.3% recorded at the time.

Lincoln County and Aroostook County had the eighth-lowest graduation rate in the state.

Maine's graduation rate rebounded to 87%, reaching pre-pandemic highs, according to the latest data from the Maine Department of Education Data Warehouse. However, data shows a possible achievement gap, with white students graduating at a higher rate than students of color.

Graduation rate data may be slightly innacurate due to incomplete reporting from some schools.
