Lincoln Elementary School has consistently performed well, ranking in the top 20% of Illinois elementary schools in recent years. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 165 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools and received a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels, and its performance in Science is also strong, with 74.1% of students proficient or better on the ISA Science assessment in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 53.2%. Lincoln Elementary School also performs exceptionally well in supporting its subgroups, ranking in the top 5% of Illinois elementary schools for its performance with Low Socio-Economic Status students, and in the top 10% for its Special Education students.

While Lincoln Elementary School has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism rates over the past few years, reaching 32.5% in 2021-2022, the school has made significant improvements, reducing the rate to 20.8% in 2023-2024. This is still higher than the district and state averages, but the school is taking steps to address this issue. The school's high per-student spending of $21,933 in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average, likely contributes to its strong academic performance. When compared to other schools in the St Charles CUSD 303 district, Lincoln Elementary School generally performs on par or better in academic proficiency, with the exception of Norton Creek Elementary School, which outperforms Lincoln in both ELA and Mathematics.

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.
