Lincoln Elementary School

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, serving 211 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Mount Pleasant Community School District, which is ranked 205 out of 309 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary School's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in 3rd grade. However, the school performs better in 4th and 5th grades, with higher proficiency rates in some subjects. The school has a relatively high percentage of students (49.76%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than the state average and indicates a higher proportion of students from low-income families. Compared to nearby schools, such as Van Buren County Community School District Harmony Center and Morning Sun Elementary School, Lincoln Elementary School generally performs worse on standardized tests, particularly in 3rd grade, but is more competitive in 4th and 5th grades.

The school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 46th out of 599 schools in 2015-2016 to 375th out of 557 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests the school may be struggling to keep up with the performance of other elementary schools in the state. The lower test scores and declining ranking indicate that Lincoln Elementary School may benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes, particularly in the earlier grades.

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.
