Lincoln Elementary School

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in North Platte, Nebraska, with 284 students. The school is part of the North Platte Public Schools district, which is ranked 159 out of 212 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, Lincoln Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in standardized test scores across grades 3-5. In 2022-2023, only 26% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 46% for the district and 56% for the state. The school has a low statewide ranking, placing between 319-381 out of 442-459 Nebraska elementary schools over the past 6 years, and has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state. Lincoln Elementary's performance is particularly low for White and female students, ranking in the bottom 30-40% of Nebraska elementary schools for these subgroups, while its Hispanic students perform relatively better, ranking in the top 33-40% of schools.

Lincoln Elementary's academic performance lags significantly behind nearby schools like Lake Maloney Elementary and McDonald Elementary, which are also part of the North Platte Public Schools district. These schools have higher test scores, better statewide rankings, and serve student populations with lower percentages of economic disadvantage. Lincoln Elementary's statewide ranking has also steadily declined from 223 out of 483 schools in 2013-2014 to 359 out of 459 schools in 2022-2023, suggesting a concerning trend of worsening academic outcomes over the past decade.

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.

Open Quote Just disappointed in this school as a whole, they are very impersonal. My daughters 2nd grade teacher strait up said she constantly is telling her class to stop asking so many questions because once they get to higher grades the teachers are only going to give them instructions once and then they will be out of luck... what... I thought all kids where different, I didn't realize the kids where all little robots that learned they same exact way. Close Quote

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.
