While the nearby schools in the same district, such as Eisenhower Elementary and South Jacksonville Elementary, generally perform better than Lincoln Elementary on academic measures, the nearby schools in other districts, such as Murrayville-Woodson Elementary and Winchester Elementary, also struggle with low academic performance, suggesting that the challenges faced by Lincoln Elementary may be more systemic within the region. Despite the school's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio, the academic outcomes remain poor, indicating that the issues may be more complex and require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach involving the school, district, and community stakeholders.
