Summary:

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 469 students. The school is part of the School District U-46, which is ranked 578 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary School consistently performs better than the School District U-46 average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 39.7% of Lincoln students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 30.7% for the district. However, Lincoln's performance is still below the state average in both ELA and Mathematics, indicating room for improvement. The school's performance is particularly strong in 4th grade ELA, where 50% of students were proficient or better, compared to 27.8% for the district and 37.8% for the state.

While Lincoln Elementary School generally outperforms the other nearby schools in the School District U-46, Timber Trails Elementary School and Hilltop Elementary School have significantly higher academic performance than Lincoln Elementary School across all grade levels and subject areas. This suggests that there may be best practices or strategies employed at Timber Trails and Hilltop that could be replicated at Lincoln to improve its overall academic performance. Additionally, Lincoln Elementary School has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 16.4% in 2019-2020 to 35.7% in 2021-2022, which is a concerning trend that the school and district should address.

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.
