Lincoln School

Summary:

Lincoln School is a public elementary school in Nutley, New Jersey, serving students from kindergarten to 6th grade. With a diverse student population, Lincoln School faces some academic challenges compared to the district and state averages, but also has some unique strengths.

One key difference is Lincoln School's racial diversity, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and Asian students compared to other schools in the Nutley Public School District. However, Lincoln School's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate and a larger percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite these challenges, Lincoln School has some bright spots. The school performs relatively well with certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, who have higher proficiency rates compared to state averages. Additionally, Lincoln School has a lower student-teacher ratio and spends less per student than other schools in the district, suggesting the potential for more individualized attention. When compared to nearby schools in Belleville and Bloomfield, Lincoln School generally outperforms them academically, even though those schools serve a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged 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.
