Summary:
The Lincoln Park School District of the City of is home to 7 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The district is characterized by significant racial and ethnic diversity, as well as high rates of economic disadvantage, with all schools having very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools in the district, Hoover School emerges as the highest performer, with the district's highest state-wide ranking, strongest test scores, and relatively low chronic absenteeism. Max Paun School also stands out as a higher-performing school, particularly in math. However, other schools, such as Lafayette School and Raupp School, are struggling significantly, suggesting the presence of opportunity gaps and inequities within the district.
The data also reveals that per-student spending is correlated with school performance, with the higher-performing schools, like Hoover, receiving more funding. Additionally, the district-wide issue of high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 26.2% to 45.6%, is a significant concern that likely contributes to the overall low performance. Addressing these equity gaps, funding disparities, and attendance issues will be crucial for improving educational outcomes across the Lincoln Park School District of the City of.
