Lincoln School

Summary:

Lincoln School is an elementary school located in Glendive, Montana, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 243 students. The school is part of the Glendive Elementary School District, which is ranked 228 out of 300 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln School consistently outperforms the Glendive Elementary School District in state test scores for Mathematics, Reading, and Science, with 33.75% of students proficient or better in Mathematics and 45% proficient or better in Reading, compared to the district's lower scores. However, the school still lags behind the state averages, indicating room for improvement. Lincoln School has a more diverse student population than nearby Deer Creek School and Jefferson School, with a higher percentage of Hispanic, Native American, and multi-racial students. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 114 out of 123 elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 203 out of 329 in 2021-2022, with a 2-star rating in the most recent years.

Lincoln School's consistent improvement in academic performance, with an increase in the percentage of students proficient or better in core subjects, suggests that the school is implementing effective strategies to improve student learning. The school's racial diversity may be an asset, but it's important to ensure that all students have equal access to educational opportunities. While Lincoln School outperforms its district counterpart, Jefferson School, and the smaller Deer Creek School in the neighboring Deer Creek Elementary District, the school's fluctuating ranking and rating indicate the need for further analysis and potential best practices to be shared with other schools in the region.

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.
