Despite having a diverse student population, with 37.84% White, 29.19% African American, 2.97% Hispanic, 9.19% Asian, and 20.54% two or more races, Lincoln Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a ranking between 1209 and 1352 out of 1433-1554 schools. The school's performance on PSSA tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grades and subjects. While the school's African American students perform better than the overall school, they still rank in the bottom 50% of Pennsylvania elementary schools. The school's White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform particularly poorly, ranking in the bottom 10% and bottom 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, respectively.
Lincoln Elementary has a high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients, with over 99% of students qualifying for this program, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school also has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $7,743 to $10,233 over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. However, this additional funding has not translated into improved academic outcomes, as the school continues to struggle. When compared to other nearby schools, such as JoAnna Connell School, Lincoln Elementary generally performs worse on academic measures, suggesting that there may be successful practices or strategies that could be replicated to improve student achievement.
