Lincoln Elementary School

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school in Erie, Pennsylvania, serving 370 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Erie City School District, which is ranked 529 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

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.

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.
