Lincoln Elementary

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary is a public elementary school located in Saint Charles, Missouri, serving grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 189 students. This exceptional school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, delivering outstanding academic results and providing a supportive learning environment for its diverse student population.

Lincoln Elementary's academic performance is truly remarkable, with students significantly outperforming their peers in the St. Charles R-VI school district and the state of Missouri in both Mathematics and English Language Arts assessments. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, 91.5% of 3rd-grade students and 75% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to just 51.6% and 51.6% for the district, and 41.1% and 43.8% for the state, respectively. This consistent academic excellence has earned Lincoln Elementary a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years, a testament to the school's effective teaching practices and strong curriculum.

While Lincoln Elementary has a majority white student population, it maintains a relatively diverse student body, with 14.29% African American, 6.35% Hispanic, and 14.29% students of two or more races. This diversity is higher than some of the nearby schools in the St. Charles R-VI district. Additionally, the school has a very low student-teacher ratio of 9.8 students per teacher, lower than the nearby schools in the district, which range from 8.2 to 13.7 students per teacher. This small class size likely contributes to the school's exceptional academic performance and personalized learning environment.

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.
