Lincolnshire Elementary

Q: Is Lincolnshire Elementary a good school?

Lincolnshire Elementary ranks 502 nd of 859 Maryland elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Lincolnshire Elementary is a public elementary school in Hagerstown, Maryland, serving 496 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Washington County Public Schools district, which is ranked 12th out of 25 districts in Maryland and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincolnshire Elementary stands out for its higher percentage of White students (53.83%) compared to the more diverse student populations at nearby schools like Eastern Elementary, Salem Avenue Elementary, and Jonathan Hager Elementary. However, the school's test scores, particularly in Mathematics, are consistently lower than the Washington County Public Schools and Maryland state averages. Additionally, Lincolnshire Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (73.99%) compared to the nearby schools, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Lincolnshire Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. The school has also experienced a decrease in the percentage of non-White students over the past three school years, in contrast to the more diverse student populations at the nearby schools. These factors, combined with the school's lower test scores and higher percentage of students from low-income families, suggest that Lincolnshire Elementary may be facing significant challenges that require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and close the achievement gap with its neighboring counterparts.

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.
