Lincoln Elementary

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary is a public elementary school in Frederick, Maryland, serving 618 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Frederick County Public Schools district, which is ranked 6 out of 25 in Maryland and has a 4-star rating.

Lincoln Elementary has a diverse student population, with higher percentages of African American (31.55%) and Hispanic (36.57%) students compared to surrounding schools. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by MCAP test scores, lags behind the district and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 29.1% of Lincoln Elementary students were proficient or better in MCAP Mathematics, compared to 32.1% for the district and 24.1% for the state. Additionally, Lincoln Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.1% to 77.18% over the past three school years, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, Lincoln Elementary generally underperforms academically, with lower test scores and rankings. For instance, Parkway Elementary and Frederick Classical Charter demonstrate significantly higher academic achievement. However, Lincoln Elementary's diverse student population and higher per-student spending may provide opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

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.
