Lincoln Park Elementary School

Summary:

Lincoln Park Elementary School is a public elementary school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 251 students from pre-kindergarten to 6th grade. The school is part of the Columbus City Schools District, which is ranked 679 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Park Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Ohio elementary schools, with a ranking between 1,203 and 1,575 out of 1,636 to 1,687 schools over the past 10 years. This places it in the lowest 1-star rating category by SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests are consistently lower than the Columbus City Schools District and the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was 14.8%, compared to the district's 31.5% and the state's 64%. Additionally, Lincoln Park Elementary School has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.7% to 83.2% over the past 5 years, significantly higher than the state average.

While Lincoln Park Elementary School is performing poorly compared to the state, it is also underperforming compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as Southwood Elementary and Stewart Alternative Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates and better overall performance. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15.1 to 16.0 over the past 3 years, suggests that there may be opportunities to implement more personalized and targeted instructional strategies to improve student outcomes.

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.
