Abraham Lincoln

Summary:

Abraham Lincoln Elementary School is a public school in Lowell, Massachusetts, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 4th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 11.99% White, 4.88% African American, 36.18% Hispanic, and 41.26% Asian students.

Despite its diverse student body, Abraham Lincoln has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Massachusetts elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on MCAS assessments are significantly lower than the Lowell district and state averages, with only 23.81% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 32.54% in Mathematics. Even the school's higher-performing subgroups, such as Asian and Hispanic students, lag behind their peers at other schools in the district and state.

Interestingly, the nearby Pyne Arts and Washington schools, which are also part of the Lowell district, perform significantly better than Abraham Lincoln on various metrics, suggesting that there is potential for improvement at the school. However, further investigation would be necessary to identify the specific factors contributing to its persistent low performance and develop targeted strategies to address the unique needs of its diverse learners.

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.
