Lincoln Elementary

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary is a public elementary school in Long Beach, California, serving 817 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Long Beach Unified School District, which is ranked 654 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

While Lincoln Elementary has shown some strengths in supporting specific student subgroups, such as African American students and English Language Learners, the school's overall academic performance, as measured by Smarter Balanced Assessments, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy ranged from 38.82% to 44.6% at Lincoln Elementary, compared to 47.76% to 50.81% for the district and 42.8% to 47.37% for the state. The school's mathematics and science proficiency rates also lag behind the district and state.

Another area of concern at Lincoln Elementary is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, which rose from 9.3% in 2018-2019 to 54.6% in 2021-2022, notably higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 75.15% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 71.63% for the district and 59.74% for the state. While Lincoln Elementary performs better than some nearby schools, it lags behind Alvarado Elementary, which has consistently higher academic proficiency rates and a lower chronic absenteeism rate.

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.
