Lincoln Elementary Magnet School

Q: Is Lincoln Elementary Magnet School a good school?

Lincoln Elementary Magnet School ranks 684 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary Magnet School is a public elementary school in Plant City, Florida, serving 521 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Hillsborough School District. This school consistently outperforms the district and state in academic proficiency, with particularly strong results in English Language Arts and Math. Lincoln Elementary also stands out for its diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is more balanced than nearby schools.

One key factor contributing to Lincoln Elementary's success may be its magnet school status, which attracts families from across the district and likely leads to a more engaged student body and emphasis on academic achievement. However, the school's performance has fluctuated over the years, ranging from a high of 4 stars to a low of 3 stars on the state's rating system. Interestingly, while Lincoln Elementary outperforms the district and state, it is not the highest-performing school in the immediate area - Walden Lake Elementary has consistently higher proficiency rates and a higher statewide ranking.

Another notable aspect of Lincoln Elementary is its relatively lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to surrounding schools, which range from 21.6% to 35.7%. Lincoln's rate of 13.0% in the 2022-2023 school year, while still higher than the 2019-2020 level of 4.2%, is a positive sign. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $9,608 is higher than the $8,261 to $12,291 range seen at nearby schools, suggesting that the school is well-resourced to support its students' academic and developmental needs.

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.
