Lincoln Acres

Summary:

Lincoln Acres is an elementary school located in National City, California, serving 467 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the National Elementary School District, which is ranked 1139 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Acres faces several challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 14.0% in 2018-2019 to 47.0% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than nearby schools like Palmer Way (34.7%), Ira Harbison (32.4%), and Olivewood (40.5%). Academically, Lincoln Acres consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 25.73% of students proficient or better in ELA and 16.47% in Mathematics, compared to the district's 30.77% and 25.3%, and the state's 47.04% and 35.54%, respectively.

Lincoln Acres also struggles to support its subgroups, ranking in the bottom 20% of California elementary schools for Hispanic students and low-socioeconomic status students in ELA and Mathematics. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.67% to 71.13% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools. While Lincoln Acres shares some similarities with the nearby schools in terms of student-teacher ratios, the school stands out with its higher chronic absenteeism rates and lower academic performance, suggesting a need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address these issues and learn from the successes of higher-performing schools in the area.

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.
