Lincoln Elementary School

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Belvidere, Illinois, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 549. The school is part of the Belvidere CUSD 100 district, which is ranked 670 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower-than-average academic performance across all grade levels, and subpar performance among various student subgroups. The school's spending per student is relatively high, but its academic performance remains low, suggesting potential issues with the efficient use of resources. When compared to other nearby schools within the Belvidere CUSD 100 district, such as Caledonia Elementary School and Seth Whitman Elementary School, Lincoln Elementary School is one of the lower-performing schools.

The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and the relatively high percentage of English Language Learners and Special Education students at Lincoln Elementary School may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance. Additionally, the school's performance has generally declined over the past several years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1417 out of 2093 Illinois elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 1522 out of 2067 in 2023-2024. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the district and community to support the school's improvement efforts.

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.
