Summary:
The Lincoln Park School District in New Jersey consists of two schools: Lincoln Park Elementary School and Lincoln Park Middle School. The district is delivering strong academic outcomes, particularly at the middle school level, which has consistently ranked in the top 15% of New Jersey middle schools over the past 3 years.
Lincoln Park Middle School stands out as an exceptional performer, ranking 53 out of 743 New Jersey middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students excel in ELA, with 70-82% proficiency rates across 5th-8th grades, significantly higher than the state averages of 52-54%. While the middle school's math performance is more mixed, with 8th graders scoring below the state average, the school's overall academic achievements are impressive.
In contrast, while Lincoln Park Elementary School also performs well compared to state averages, it does not stand out as strongly as the middle school. The elementary school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between the top 20-25% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past 3 years. Both schools, however, demonstrate a district-wide commitment to educational excellence, with relatively low percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and per-student spending levels that suggest equitable access to resources.
