Lincoln Heights Elementary School

Summary:

Lincoln Heights Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 316 students in grades PK-5 in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, which is part of the Scottsbluff Public Schools district. Compared to nearby schools, Lincoln Heights has a more diverse student population with a higher percentage of Hispanic students and a lower percentage of White students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages.

Lincoln Heights has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 69% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This is significantly higher than the nearby Longfellow Elementary (46%) and Westmoor Elementary (65%). Despite spending more per student than these nearby schools, Lincoln Heights' academic performance has declined over the past few years, with its 5th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate dropping from 46% to 23% in the last year.

While Lincoln Heights' overall performance is lower than the district and state averages, the school's Hispanic students and low-socioeconomic status students perform relatively better compared to their peers at the school. However, the school's proximity to several other higher-performing elementary schools within the Scottsbluff Public Schools district suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and student support, may be contributing to the school's challenges.

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.
