Lincoln Elementary School

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in New Brunswick, New Jersey, serving 578 students from kindergarten to 4th grade. The school is part of the New Brunswick School District, which is ranked 588 out of 615 school districts in New Jersey and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary School faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly Hispanic (95.16%) and a very high percentage of students (80.1% to 96.99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New Jersey, with a statewide ranking between 1287 and 1341 out of 1342 schools in recent years. Its academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 10.0% to 17.5% in recent years, which is higher than the state and district averages.

While the nearby schools in the New Brunswick School District also struggle academically, Mckinley Community School, Roosevelt Elementary School, and A Chester Redshaw School consistently perform better than Lincoln Elementary School. The high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Lincoln Elementary School suggests that the school may face resource challenges, which could impact its ability to provide quality education and support for its students.

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.
