Lincoln Elementary

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary is a public elementary school located in Ottawa, Kansas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 360 students. The school is part of the Ottawa school district, which is ranked 139 out of 266 districts in Kansas and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 195 out of 668 Kansas elementary schools in 2012-2013 (rated 4 stars) to 522 out of 667 in 2018-2019 (rated 1 star). In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 309 out of 653 Kansas elementary schools, with a 3-star rating. Compared to the Ottawa district and the state of Kansas, Lincoln Elementary has generally performed better in mathematics, but its performance in English Language Arts has been mixed. The school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.96% in 2020-2021 to 73.06% in 2022-2023, and it has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.8 in 2020-2021 to 12.4 in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby schools, Lincoln Elementary's performance is generally lower than that of Sunflower Elementary School and Garfield Elementary, which are also part of the Ottawa school district. However, the school has ranked relatively high for special education students and low socioeconomic status students, indicating a strong focus on supporting these student populations. Overall, Lincoln Elementary's declining statewide ranking over the years suggests that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining or improving its academic performance, and further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues.

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.
