Abraham Lincoln Elementary consistently outperforms the Kingsport district and the state of Tennessee in proficiency rates for TNReady assessments, with 51.9% proficiency in Mathematics, 50.3% in English Language Arts, and 53% in Science, compared to the district's 45.8%, 44.4%, and 55.9%, and the state's 39.7%, 37.6%, and 44%.

While George Washington Elementary School, another Kingsport district school, has a slightly higher statewide ranking, Abraham Lincoln Elementary outperforms it in most academic metrics. In contrast, other nearby schools like Theodore Roosevelt Elementary, John F. Kennedy Elementary, and Andrew Jackson Elementary have lower academic performance and statewide rankings compared to Abraham Lincoln Elementary. The school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio may contribute to its academic success, which could serve as a model for other schools in the Sullivan County and Kingsport districts.

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.
