Lincoln Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently exceeding state and district averages in STAAR Reading, Mathematics, and Science assessments across grades 3-5. The school's 3rd-grade reading proficiency rate is particularly impressive, ranging from 62-70% over the past three years, compared to the state average of 38-50%. Additionally, Lincoln Elementary's 4th-grade mathematics proficiency rate reached as high as 73.13% in 2023-2024, significantly above the state average of 44.67%. While the school's overall student population is predominantly White, its low-income students perform relatively well, ranking in the top 12% of Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023.

However, Lincoln Elementary's academic success is not evenly distributed across all student subgroups. The school's African American and Hispanic students tend to perform below the state and district averages, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to address these racial achievement gaps. In comparison to nearby schools, Lincoln Elementary generally outperforms other elementary schools in the Montgomery ISD, such as Lone Star Elementary and Keenan Elementary, which also demonstrate strong academic performance. Outside the Montgomery ISD, schools in the neighboring Willis ISD tend to have lower overall performance, underscoring the relative strength of the Montgomery ISD and Lincoln Elementary.

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.
