Lincoln Park Academy

Summary:

Lincoln Park Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 303 students in grades K-8 in Cleveland, Ohio. The school is part of the Lincoln Park Academy District, which is ranked 661 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Park Academy has consistently struggled academically, ranking between 1290-1309 out of 1577-1596 Ohio elementary schools in recent years and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state tests, is significantly below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 22.2% of 5th graders were proficient in Science, compared to the state average of 64%. In contrast, nearby schools like Menlo Park Academy and Buhrer outperform Lincoln Park Academy and the state averages in most subject areas and grade levels.

One potential contributing factor to Lincoln Park Academy's low performance is its extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 63.1% to 78.1% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools like Menlo Park Academy (17.7%) and Buhrer (22.8%). Additionally, the school's performance gaps between student subgroups, particularly for African American and White students, suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address equity concerns and improve educational outcomes for all 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.
