Lincoln-Thomson

Summary:

Lincoln-Thomson is an elementary school in Lynn, Massachusetts, serving 189 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school's academic performance, as measured by MCAS Next Generation assessments, is generally below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science at 17.27%, 18.18%, and 27.08%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 39.17%, 40.91%, and 41.95%.

Lincoln-Thomson has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Massachusetts elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with its Hispanic students ranking 332 out of 446 Massachusetts elementary schools in English Language Arts, while its White students ranked 552 out of 753. This suggests that the school may need to focus on addressing the needs of specific student populations to improve overall academic outcomes.

Compared to nearby schools in the Lynn district, such as Edward A. Sisson, Sewell-Anderson, and Julia F. Callahan, Lincoln-Thomson's academic performance is generally lower, with these schools having higher proficiency rates and higher rankings within the state. The school's declining ranking and rating over the past decade, along with its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, suggest that it faces significant challenges in providing equitable educational opportunities for its diverse student population.

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.
