Lincoln Elementary

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary is a public elementary school located in Lindsay, California, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 397 students. It is part of the Lindsay Unified School District, which is ranked 1001 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, student engagement, and addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population. The school has seen a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 7.1% in 2017-2018 to 20.9% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Lincoln Elementary's performance on Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST Science tests is consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 33.64% of Lincoln Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 38.84% for the district and 47.04% for the state.

Interestingly, Lincoln Elementary's performance is generally lower than the nearby Kennedy Elementary, Washington Elementary, and Reagan Elementary, which have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, Lincoln Elementary's performance is still better than some other nearby schools outside the district, such as Strathmore Elementary and Sunnyside Elementary, which have even lower test scores and higher rates of economic disadvantage.

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.
