Lincoln Middle School

Summary:

Lincoln Middle School is a public middle school located in Cottage Grove, Oregon, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 451 students. The school is part of the South Lane School District, which is ranked 48 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a moderately-performing district, Lincoln Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon middle schools, ranging from 212 to 314 out of 367-384 schools over the past 10 years. The school has maintained a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other Oregon middle schools. Lincoln Middle School's performance is particularly low for White students, ranking in the bottom 25% of Oregon middle schools for this subgroup, and very poor for special education students, ranking in the bottom 15%. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the South Lane School District and the state of Oregon averages.

Interestingly, the nearby middle schools, such as Hamlin Middle School, Arts and Technology Academy at Jefferson, and Kennedy Middle School, generally perform better than Lincoln Middle School on academic measures and have higher statewide rankings. Despite having higher spending per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Lincoln Middle School's academic performance does not reflect these advantages, suggesting the need for the school to re-evaluate its strategies and interventions to better support its student population and improve 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.
