Lincoln School for the Arts

Summary:

Lincoln School for the Arts is a public elementary school serving 457 students in grades PK-8 in Marrero, Louisiana, which is part of the Jefferson Parish school district. The school has a predominantly African American student population (81.62%) and a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (72.57% to 89.98% over the past three years).

Despite serving a high-need student population, Lincoln School for the Arts consistently underperforms compared to the Jefferson Parish and Louisiana state averages on LEAP tests. In 2023-2024, only 45% of Lincoln students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 49% in the district and 59% statewide. In English Language Arts, 57% of Lincoln students were proficient, compared to 61% in the district and 69% statewide. The school's statewide ranking is very low, placing in the bottom quartile of Louisiana elementary schools at 555 out of 675 in 2023-2024 with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Congetta Trippe Janet Elementary School, Lincoln School for the Arts significantly underperforms in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency. Additionally, the school has struggled to improve its academic performance over the past several years, with its low ranking and 1-star rating persisting. These stark disparities and the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Lincoln School for the Arts suggest that there may be equity issues that need to be addressed to improve educational outcomes for the students.

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.
