Lincoln Elementary Magnet School

Q: Is Lincoln Elementary Magnet School a good school?

Lincoln Elementary Magnet School ranks 442 nd of 1248 Georgia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary Magnet School is a public elementary school in Albany, Georgia, serving 428 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Dougherty County School District, which is ranked 165 out of 203 districts in the state.

Despite serving a high-need population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Lincoln Elementary Magnet School consistently outperforms the Dougherty County and Georgia state averages in standardized test scores. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 62.5% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 31.1% in Dougherty County and 48.2% statewide. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15 to 18 students per teacher, which may contribute to its academic success.

When compared to nearby schools in the Dougherty County district, Lincoln Elementary Magnet School significantly outperforms its peers in academic measures. For instance, the school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate of 57.8% in the 2023-2024 school year was nearly double the Dougherty County average of 32%. This high-performing status, despite serving a high-need population, suggests that the school's practices and strategies could potentially be replicated at other high-poverty schools in the district or state to improve student outcomes.

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.
