Summary:

Lincrest Elementary is a public elementary school in Yuba City, California, serving 586 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Yuba City Unified School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincrest Elementary faces several key challenges. Academically, the school's performance on the Smarter Balanced Assessments is generally below the district and state averages, with only 40.5% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 31.12% in Mathematics. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Asian and White students. Additionally, Lincrest has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.3% in 2017-2018 to 22% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state average of 14.3%. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 77.13% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to the state average of 55.9%.

Compared to nearby schools within the Yuba City Unified District, such as King Avenue Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, and Riverbend Elementary, Lincrest's academic performance is generally lower. However, Lincrest's performance is still better than some schools in the neighboring Marysville Joint Unified District, such as Cedar Lane Elementary and Park Avenue Elementary. The unique challenges faced by Lincrest, including high chronic absenteeism and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, may require targeted interventions and support to address the needs of the school and its student population.

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.
