Lincoln Park Academy, Fort Pierce

Lincoln Park Academy in Fort Pierce earned an A in the 2025-26 Florida school grades, with 73 percent of total possible points, the same letter the state file shows for 2025.

In the Florida Department of Education's 2025-26 grades workbook, dated September 1, 2026, LINCOLN PARK ACADEMY is school 0121 in district 56, St. Lucie, and its Grade 2026 and Grade 2025 cells both read A (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades workbook). Its row shows 801 total points earned across 11 components and 98 in the percent tested column. The school type column reads 04, which the workbook's legend defines as a combination school.

For high and combination schools such as the Fort Pierce campus, the workbook's note gives an A to 65% of points or more, a B to 60% through 64%, a C to 45% through 59%, a D to 35% through 44%, and an F to 34% or less (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades workbook). Florida law defines an A as a school making excellent progress, the first of the five grades the statute lists (section 1008.34, Florida Statutes).

Two other columns in the Lincoln Park Academy row describe the school rather than its scores. The row marks Lincoln Park Academy as not a charter school and as a Title I school, and gives 61.8 in the column for the percent of economically disadvantaged students (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades workbook). The school's website lists a Title 1 Information page and an Annual Report among its parent resources (Lincoln Park Academy website).

Lincoln Park Academy's 2026 row shows 100 for the 2024-25 graduation rate, 86 for social studies achievement and 55 for learning gains among the lowest 25 percent in English language arts.

The table lists the Lincoln Park Academy row of the state workbook under the workbook's own column names (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades workbook). The graduation rate and college and career acceleration columns carry a 2024-25 label in the state's own headers.

The workbook leaves the Grade 3 English Language Arts Achievement column blank for Lincoln Park Academy, which starts at grade 6 according to its district profile (district school profile). The district profile also carries a School Grade and Testing Results link for the school.

The FLDOE workbook shows an A for Lincoln Park Academy in every graded column from 2002 through 2026 that is not blank, with a C in 2001, an A in 2000 and a B in 1999.

The table lists selected columns exactly as they appear in the Lincoln Park Academy row; the workbook has no 2020 column and leaves the 2021 column blank, and it labels 2015 and 2023 as informational baseline grades (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades workbook). The columns from Grade 2014 back to Grade 2002 also read A in the Lincoln Park Academy row.

The Census Bureau geocoder matches the address as 1806 AVE I, FORT PIERCE, FL, 34950 and returns Fort Pierce city, GEOID 1224300, as the incorporated place, inside St. Lucie County (Census Bureau geocoder result). The school sits in the Lincoln Park neighborhood; the City of Fort Pierce history page for Lincoln Park names Lincoln Park Academy, an academic magnet school, among the neighborhood's landmarks alongside the historic Lincoln Theater (City of Fort Pierce Historical Lincoln Park page).

The same city page calls Lincoln Park one of the oldest communities in Fort Pierce, says Avenue D was the neighborhood's main corridor and, in the 1950s and 1960s, the county's bustling center for African American-owned shops, restaurants, businesses and a theater, and notes that the neighborhood was home to Zora Neale Hurston and to many of the Florida Highwaymen artists (Historical Lincoln Park page). It adds that the City of Fort Pierce, the Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency and St. Lucie County completed an Intermodal Bus Terminal and Moore's Creek Linear Park in the area, and that the city offers matching commercial facade grants along the Avenue D corridor. The Fort Pierce places guide covers the Highwaymen Museum on Avenue D.

Lincoln Park Academy offers the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme for grades 6 to 10, the IB Diploma Programme, Cambridge AICE, dual enrollment, a Project Lead the Way engineering program and Adobe digital media certification.

The school's website says that, as an authorized IB World School, Lincoln Park Academy provides the Middle Years Programme for all students in grades 6 to 10, and that students may apply for the IB Diploma Programme in their sophomore year and, if accepted, complete a two-year course of study in their junior and senior years (Lincoln Park Academy website, academics).

Lincoln Park Academy is a countywide magnet school, and magnet applications go through the St. Lucie Public Schools Student Assignment Office.

In the district school directory, Lincoln Park Academy (6-12) is the countywide entry, a school that draws students from all over St. Lucie County to Ft. Pierce. The same directory says a family can apply for a magnet school once the child has a social security number, that magnet applications are handed out only at the Student Assignment Office, and that assignment follows the date of application (St. Lucie Public Schools directory).

The Student Assignment page describes the process differently: it calls assignment a 2 step process that starts with an online application for a regional zone or other choice options, and lists separate windows for open enrollment, lottery magnets and attractor programs (district Student Assignment page). When read on October 22, 2026, that page said lottery magnet applications would reopen May 1st, 2026. The office answers at (772) 429-3930 and says its staff can help in English, French, Spanish, Haitian Creole, Italian and Portuguese. The Fort Pierce schools guide covers the other public schools in the city.
