Lincoln Elementary

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary is a public elementary school located in Ontario, CA, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 561 students. It is part of the Ontario-Montclair School District, which is ranked 793 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary faces several key challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 12.0% in 2018-2019 to 28.5% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. The school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 35.68% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 31.84% in Mathematics, compared to the district and state averages. While Lincoln Elementary excels in supporting English Language Learners and Special Education students, the underperformance of other student groups, such as Hispanic students, Low Socioeconomic Status students, and Homeless students, indicates a need for more targeted interventions and support.

Additionally, Lincoln Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 90.2% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 18.2 in 2022-2023, which may be a contributing factor to the academic challenges. Addressing these areas through targeted interventions, data-driven decision-making, and a focus on equity and support for all students could be crucial for improving Lincoln Elementary's overall performance and outcomes.

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.
