Lincoln Elementary School

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Nogales, Arizona, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 438. The school is part of the Nogales Unified District, which is ranked 196 out of 288 districts in Arizona and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the Nogales Unified District and the state of Arizona in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 22% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 32% in the district and 46% statewide. The school has been ranked in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking of 663 out of 904 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Lincoln Elementary School's performance on standardized tests is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Special Education students, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of Arizona schools in their respective categories.

While Lincoln Elementary School struggles academically, some of the nearby schools within the Nogales Unified District, such as Robert Bracker Elementary and Francisco Vasquez De Coronado Elementary, perform significantly better on standardized tests and have higher school rankings. Additionally, Lincoln Elementary School has a very high percentage of students (93.84% in 2022-2023) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, and its per-student spending ($7,577 in 2021-2022) is lower than the state average and some of the nearby schools, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges.

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.
