Summary:
The Osage Community School District has one elementary school, Lincoln Elementary School, serving grades PK-4. With 405 students, Lincoln Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency for 3rd and 4th grade students. The school appears to have adequate financial resources and staffing, with a spending per student of $11,312 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15:1.
While Lincoln Elementary's academic performance is strong, the school's student population is predominantly white (92.1%), with relatively low percentages of minority students. Over the past three school years, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 201 out of 574 Iowa elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 250 out of 557 in 2023-2024, suggesting the need to identify areas for improvement to maintain its competitive position.
Overall, Lincoln Elementary School appears to be a well-resourced and academically strong elementary school within the Osage Community School District. However, the school may benefit from exploring ways to promote diversity and inclusion within the school community to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
