Lincoln Elementary

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary is a public elementary school in Hanford, California, serving 371 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Hanford Elementary School District, which is ranked 750 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Hanford Elementary district, Lincoln Elementary faces significant challenges. The school has seen a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.1% in 2017-2018 to 29.1% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. Academically, Lincoln Elementary consistently performs below the Hanford Elementary district and California state averages in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2023-2024, only 26.26% of Lincoln Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 45.09% in the district and 47.04% statewide.

Further, Lincoln Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with English Language Learners and Hispanic students performing relatively better, while female students, male students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform significantly worse compared to their peers in the district and state. This disparity in subgroup performance, combined with the school's extremely high percentage of students (over 96%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggests that Lincoln Elementary serves a community with significant economic challenges that may contribute to the school's overall academic underperformance.

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.
