Lincoln Park Elementary School

Summary:

Lincoln Park Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 418 students in grades PK-5 in the Mona Shores Public School District in Muskegon, Michigan. The school has a predominantly White student population, with smaller percentages of other racial groups.

Lincoln Park Elementary is a relatively high-performing school, consistently outperforming the district and state on M-Step assessments in subjects like English Language Arts and Science. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.0% in 2018-2019 to 19.2% in 2022-2023, which is higher than nearby Ross Park Elementary and Churchill Elementary. The school also has a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (50.72%) compared to some of its neighbors, such as Campbell Elementary (64.18%) and Bunker Elementary (84.92%).

Despite its strong academic performance, Lincoln Park Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 321 out of 1,448 Michigan elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 493 out of 1,486 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students and White students outperforming their male and low socioeconomic status peers. The school and Mona Shores Public School District should focus on addressing the increase in chronic absenteeism and ensuring equity in student outcomes across all subgroups.

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.
