Lincoln Elementary Performing Arts

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary Performing Arts is a public magnet elementary school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving 575 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Jefferson County School District, which is ranked 141 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Lincoln Elementary Performing Arts has consistently ranked in the middle to lower range of Kentucky elementary schools, it stands out for its strong performance among Hispanic students, ranking in the top 20-35 in the state. However, the school struggles with African American and low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the bottom 20-30% of the state. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the Jefferson County and Kentucky state averages, with reading proficiency rates ranging from 45% to 50% and math proficiency rates of 25% to 37%. The school's per-student spending is around $14,700, which is slightly higher than the state average but lower than some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Field Elementary and Bloom Elementary, which significantly outperform Lincoln Elementary Performing Arts.

The challenges faced by Lincoln Elementary Performing Arts are not unique, as many schools in the Jefferson County School District and the state of Kentucky struggle to address achievement gaps for African American and low-income students. The school's relatively low performance in mathematics suggests an opportunity for targeted interventions and instructional strategies to improve math outcomes, while the school's strengths in reading and Hispanic student performance provide a foundation for further growth and improvement.

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.
