Lincoln Elementary School

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Adrian, Michigan, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 319. The school is part of the Adrian Public Schools district, which is ranked 452 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to the surrounding schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (27.27%) and two or more races (10.03%) students. The school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 16.0% in 2020-2021 to 59.8% in 2021-2022, before decreasing to 35.8% in 2022-2023. This is notably higher than the state average and the surrounding schools, such as Herrick Park Intermediate School and Onsted Elementary. While Lincoln Elementary's overall test scores are lower than the state and district averages, the school's Hispanic students have performed relatively well, ranking 44th out of 201 Michigan elementary schools in 3rd-grade English Language Arts in 2023-2024.

Lincoln Elementary has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 69.28% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the surrounding schools. The school also has the highest per-student spending among the schools analyzed, at $13,874 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state and district averages. However, despite the higher spending, the school's academic outcomes have not kept pace with the state and district averages, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices and school climate, may be contributing to the school's performance. Many of the surrounding schools, including those in the Tecumseh Public Schools district, also struggle with low test scores and high rates of chronic absenteeism, indicating that the challenges facing Lincoln Elementary may be reflective of broader regional trends.

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.
