Academically, Lincoln Elementary School's performance, as measured by NJSLA test scores, is consistently below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

In Mathematics, only 24.2% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 47.6%. The school's performance is also below the district average, indicating that Lincoln Elementary is one of the lower-performing schools within the Harrison Public Schools system. However, the school performs relatively well for White students and English Language Learners, ranking in the top 30% and top 25% of New Jersey elementary schools, respectively, in recent years.

Lincoln Elementary School also faces challenges with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 5.0% to 18.1% in recent years, and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 76.49% to 78.21% in recent years. These factors may be contributing to the school's relatively low academic performance.

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.
