Lincoln Elementary School

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 853 students in grades PK-5 in Lincoln, Alabama, which is part of the Talladega County school district.

Academically, Lincoln Elementary has shown mixed performance compared to state and county averages. While the school outperformed in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade English language arts, it underperformed in math and science. However, the school's African American and low socioeconomic status (SES) student subgroups performed particularly well, ranking in the top 4-star tier statewide. This suggests the school has effective strategies in place to support these historically underperforming populations. Interestingly, nearby schools like Munford Elementary and Ohatchee Elementary outperformed Lincoln Elementary in math and science.

Lincoln Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from a high of 225 out of 684 Alabama elementary schools to a low of 394 out of 681. This variability indicates the school is experiencing some instability in its academic performance. Additionally, with 57-62% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school faces the significant challenge of supporting a large population of economically disadvantaged students. Addressing these areas for improvement, such as through targeted interventions and family support services, could help Lincoln Elementary achieve more consistent and higher levels of academic success.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
