San Joaquin Times

Lincoln High School had the highest enrollment among San Joaquin County schools, welcoming 2,936 students during the 2022-23 school year, according to the California Department of Education.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 50.7% of them were boys, 49.2% were girls, and 0.1% identified themselves as non-binary or did not specify their gender.

Among the 207 schools in San Joaquin County, Edison High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 2,558 students, while Franklin High School welcomed 2,284 students and ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

Lincoln High School is part of Lincoln Unified School District, which roughly covers schools within San Joaquin County and has a main office in Stockton.

In the previous school year, Lincoln High School also had the highest number of students among San Joaquin County schools.

In the last decade, enrollment in California elementary and secondary schools rose by at least 5%, while high school enrollment dropped 5%.

However, overall enrollment in California public schools is sliding, and predicted by the Public Policy Institute of California to drop another 8% by the 2031-32 school year.
