Lincoln Elementary School

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Robinson, Illinois, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 329 students. The school is part of the Robinson CUSD 2 district, which is ranked 442 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $11,929, Lincoln Elementary has faced several challenges. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.8% to 40.8% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Washington Elementary (30.3%) and Oblong Elementary (18.4%). Academically, Lincoln Elementary's performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA and Math on the IAR assessments, is consistently lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 22.4% of Lincoln Elementary students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 41.2% statewide and 43.5% in the Robinson CUSD 2 district.

Further, Lincoln Elementary School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While female students and special education students perform relatively better, the school struggles with the performance of male students and white students, who rank in the bottom 20% and bottom 10% of Illinois elementary schools, respectively. This suggests potential equity issues that the school and district may need to address. Despite the school's high per-student spending, the data indicates that additional factors, such as instructional practices, school climate, and targeted interventions, may be necessary to drive meaningful improvements in student achievement at Lincoln Elementary School.

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.
