Lincoln Elementary School

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Hastings, Nebraska, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 299. The school is part of the Hastings Public Schools district, which is ranked 195 out of 212 districts in Nebraska and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Lincoln Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (37.12%) compared to the surrounding schools, its academic performance, as measured by NSCAS assessments, is generally lower than the Hastings Public Schools district average and the state of Nebraska average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, only 37% of 3rd graders at Lincoln Elementary were proficient or better in NSCAS Mathematics, compared to 58% statewide. Additionally, Lincoln Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74.58% to 84.30% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools like Hawthorne Elementary, which has a lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients.

Despite having the highest spending per student among the analyzed schools, ranging from $15,590 to $17,089 over the past four school years, Lincoln Elementary's academic performance has been declining over the past three school years. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning and achievement. Addressing the challenges faced by Lincoln Elementary, including the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the need to improve academic outcomes, will be crucial for the school to provide a high-quality education and better support its diverse student population.

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.
