Lincoln Elementary School

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-3 in Lincoln, Arkansas, with 373 students. The school is part of the Lincoln School District, which is ranked 154 out of 252 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Arkansas elementary schools, with its performance on standardized tests significantly below the state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 28.5% of Lincoln Elementary students were proficient in English Language Arts and 21.5% were proficient in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 33.8% and 36.4%, respectively. This is substantially lower than the nearby Fayetteville and Farmington school districts, which are highly ranked in the state. For instance, Holcomb Elementary in Fayetteville had 54.2% proficiency in English Language Arts, while Bob Folsom Elementary in Farmington had 52.7% proficiency.

Lincoln Elementary School has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.71% to 78.48% over the past 3 years, which is significantly higher than the state average. This high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may contribute to the school's lower academic performance, as research has shown a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and educational outcomes. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 16.6 in 2022-2023 is higher than the nearby Fayetteville and Farmington schools, which have ratios ranging from 15.5 to 20.7, indicating a potential need for additional teaching staff to provide more individualized attention to students.

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.
