Lincoln Elementary

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary is a public elementary school in Pomona, California, serving 299 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Pomona Unified school district, which has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (64.5% in 2021-2022), consistently low test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages, and an extremely high percentage of students (93-96%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's student-teacher ratio is also relatively high, ranging from 20.3 to 23.9 over the past few years. When compared to nearby schools like Washington Elementary and Arroyo Elementary, Lincoln Elementary consistently underperforms on key metrics.

The data suggests that Lincoln Elementary's struggles are likely tied to the socioeconomic challenges faced by its student population. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach, such as improving student engagement, providing additional resources and support for teachers, and addressing the specific needs of the school community. With targeted interventions and support, Lincoln Elementary has the potential to improve its academic performance and overall outcomes for its students.

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.
