Lincoln School

Summary:

Lincoln School is an elementary school serving grades K-8 in Evansville, Indiana, with a student population of 236. The school is part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp district, which is ranked 242 out of 381 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp, Lincoln School consistently performs significantly below the district and state averages on ILEARN assessments in both English Language Arts and Math. For example, in 2023-2024, only 12.87% of Lincoln School students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 37.25% for the district and 38.6% statewide. In Math, the proficiency rate was just 11.11% at Lincoln School, compared to 37.06% for the district and 52.4% statewide. Lincoln School also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 27.8% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the district average of 20.3% at Harper Elementary and 16.4% at Vogel Elementary. Additionally, Lincoln School has an extremely high percentage of students (88.14% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to other nearby elementary schools in the same district, Lincoln School is an outlier in terms of academic performance and other key metrics. For example, Harper Elementary and Vogel Elementary, which are both within 2.5 miles of Lincoln, have significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math, lower chronic absenteeism, and higher school rankings. This suggests that the academic struggles at Lincoln School may be disproportionately impacting students of color, as the school's racial makeup is predominantly African American and Hispanic.

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.
