Lincoln Elementary

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary is a public elementary school in Fresno, California, serving 654 students in grades K-6 as part of the Clovis Unified school district, which is ranked 326 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

Lincoln Elementary consistently performs above the state average on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that often exceed the Clovis Unified district average. The school's Hispanic, White, and low-income student subgroups all rank exceptionally well compared to other California elementary schools. However, Lincoln Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.5% in 2018-2019 to 22.2% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern.

Compared to nearby schools, Lincoln Elementary generally outperforms Maple Creek Elementary and Fort Washington Elementary in academic proficiency, but falls short of the high-performing Liberty Elementary within the same district. Additionally, Lincoln Elementary's performance is notably stronger than the nearby Fresno Unified schools that serve similarly disadvantaged populations, suggesting the school is effectively supporting its low-income students.

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.
