Summary:

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Addison, Illinois, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 281 students. The school is part of the Addison School District 4, which is ranked 671 out of 813 school districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of Illinois elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 1,527 and 2,008 out of over 2,000 schools. The school's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 17% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 15.6% in Mathematics, and 25.5% in Science. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with higher ratings for English Language Learners but lower ratings for Hispanic, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Additionally, Lincoln Elementary School has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.8% to 28.2% in recent years, significantly above the state average.

While Lincoln Elementary School is performing poorly compared to the state, it is not the only low-performing school in the Addison School District 4. The other schools in the district, such as Fullerton Elementary and Ardmore Elementary, also have low academic performance and rankings. However, there are some higher-performing schools in the nearby Itasca School District 10 and Bensenville School District 2, such as Raymond Benson Primary School and W.A. Johnson School, which suggests that the challenges faced by Lincoln Elementary School may be specific to the Addison School District 4.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
