Lincoln Elementary School

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school in Mesa, Arizona, serving 630 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Mesa Unified District, which is ranked 179 out of 288 districts in the state.

Lincoln Elementary consistently underperforms compared to district and state averages on standardized tests, with only 13-28% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to 38-46% for the district and state. The school has been ranked in the bottom 25% of Arizona elementary schools for several years, placing it in the lowest-performing category. Lincoln's student subgroups, such as Hispanic and English Language Learners, also perform significantly below their peers at the district and state levels.

While nearby schools in the Mesa Unified District also struggle academically, the charter school options in the area, like Mesa Arts Academy and Franklin Accelerated Academy, tend to outperform the traditional public schools. Lincoln Elementary's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and low academic performance may indicate a need for additional funding and resources to support the unique needs of the student population.

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.
