Lincoln County Elementary School

Summary:

Lincoln County Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lincolnton, Georgia, serving 606 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Lincoln County School District, which is ranked 37th out of 203 districts in the state.

Academically, Lincoln County Elementary School has consistently ranked in the middle range of Georgia elementary schools, with mixed performance on the Milestones Assessment. While 5th-grade students outperformed the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, 3rd-grade students underperformed in Mathematics. Compared to nearby North Columbia Elementary School, a top-performing school in the state, Lincoln County Elementary lags behind academically.

Socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's academic challenges, as Lincoln County Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57.1% to 64.4% over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the 21.57% rate at North Columbia Elementary School. To address these issues, the school and Lincoln County School District may need to focus on targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning and achievement, as well as provide additional support and resources for the school's economically disadvantaged students.

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.
