Lincolnwood Elementary School

Summary:

Lincolnwood Elementary School is a public K-5 school in Evanston, Illinois, serving 320 students as part of the Evanston CCSD 65 district, which is ranked 217 out of 813 districts in the state.

Lincolnwood consistently outperforms state and district averages in standardized test scores, with 53.6% proficiency in English Language Arts and 56.6% in Math, compared to state averages of 41.2% and 28.4% respectively. The school's 3rd-grade Math proficiency of 63.1% is significantly higher than the state's 33.8%, and its 5th-grade Science proficiency of 71.9% exceeds the state's 53.2%. Lincolnwood's male, White, African American, and Special Education students all perform well, ranking in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools, but the school's Low Socioeconomic Status students have struggled in recent years.

While Lincolnwood's academic performance is generally stronger than nearby Orrington Elementary and Dewey Elementary, the nearby Wilmette schools, such as McKenzie Elementary and Central Elementary, have even higher proficiency rates exceeding 65% in both ELA and Math. However, Lincolnwood's rising chronic absenteeism, from 3.6% in 2019-2020 to 20.4% in 2023-2024, 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.
