Lincoln Elementary

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary is a public elementary school in Lincoln, Kansas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 158 students. The school is part of the Lincoln school district, which is ranked 110 out of 266 districts in Kansas and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary has shown a mixed performance in academic assessments, with its statewide ranking fluctuating over the years. However, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (38.22%) and Mathematics (47.05%) are higher than the state averages, indicating above-average academic achievement. Compared to the nearby Tescott Elementary school, Lincoln Elementary has higher proficiency rates in both subjects across all grades.

One of Lincoln Elementary's notable strengths is its consistently high performance for its low socioeconomic status (SES) student population, ranking 41 out of 494 Kansas elementary schools in this subgroup for the 2020-2021 school year. However, the school's performance for other student subgroups, such as female, male, and white students, has been more variable. The higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio at Lincoln Elementary compared to Tescott Elementary may contribute to the school's stronger academic performance, but the school should continue to evaluate and improve its educational practices to maintain and enhance its overall performance.

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.
