Lincoln Elementary School

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school in Warren, Michigan, serving 355 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Van Dyke Public Schools district, which is ranked 560 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 0-star rating.

Lincoln Elementary School faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Michigan elementary schools. The school's proficiency rates in M-Step English Language Arts and Math are significantly lower than state and district averages, with only 19.7% of 5th-grade students proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 44% at the state level and 28.3% in the district. The school's African American students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform particularly poorly, with the African American students ranking 278 out of 348 Michigan elementary schools.

While Lincoln Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and spends a high amount per student, the challenges it faces appear to be systemic within the Van Dyke Public Schools district, as nearby schools like McKinley Elementary and Marjorie Carlson Elementary also struggle with low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism. These challenges seem to be unique to the district, as nearby charter schools and schools in the Detroit Public Schools Community District generally perform better.

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.
