Lincoln Elementary School

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school in Grand Island, Nebraska, serving 330 students in grades PK-5. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with 88.18% of students identifying as Hispanic in the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite receiving high per-student spending of $15,900, Lincoln Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Nebraska elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are significantly lower than state and district averages, with only 36% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 63% statewide and 44% in the Grand Island Public Schools district. Additionally, Lincoln Elementary has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating that all students come from low-socioeconomic status households.

Interestingly, while Lincoln Elementary has a higher percentage of Hispanic and low-income students compared to nearby schools, schools with similar demographics, such as Starr Elementary and Dodge Elementary, are outperforming Lincoln Elementary on test scores and overall school rankings. This suggests that the school may need to implement more targeted interventions and support for its unique student population to improve academic outcomes.

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.
