Lincoln Elementary

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary is a public elementary school in Faribault, Minnesota, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds.

Despite its diverse student body, Lincoln Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments in both math and reading. The school's academic challenges are particularly pronounced for its White and Special Education students. However, the school's African American and Hispanic students perform better relative to their peers statewide, suggesting that Lincoln Elementary may be doing a better job of supporting the academic achievement of its minority students.

The academic struggles at Lincoln Elementary are not unique to the school, as the nearby Roosevelt Elementary and Jefferson Elementary schools in the Faribault Public School District also perform poorly on state assessments. In contrast, the Northfield Public School District, located just a few miles away, has several elementary schools that consistently rank in the top half of Minnesota schools. This highlights the significant academic achievement gap between the Faribault and Northfield school districts, despite their geographic proximity. The nearby Cannon River STEM School, a public charter school, also struggles academically, suggesting that the challenges faced by Lincoln Elementary may be a broader issue within the Faribault area.

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.
