Lincoln Elementary School

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Dayton, Kentucky, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 487 students. The school is part of the Dayton Independent School District, which is ranked 135 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools over the past decade, with its statewide ranking ranging from 412 to 550 out of around 700 schools. The school has been rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger for most of this period, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. This is largely due to the school's low student performance on the Kentucky State Assessments, with proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science falling significantly below the state averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 81.52% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which can contribute to the school's academic challenges.

When compared to nearby schools, Lincoln Elementary School generally performs worse than higher-performing schools in the Fort Thomas Independent and Southgate Independent districts, but better than some lower-performing schools in the Covington Independent and Bellevue Independent districts. For example, Woodfill Elementary School in Fort Thomas consistently ranks among the top 10% of Kentucky elementary schools, while Grandview Elementary School in Bellevue Independent, which is the closest school to Lincoln Elementary, also struggles with low 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.
