Lincoln School

Summary:

Lincoln School is an elementary school located in Layton, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 703 students. The school is part of the Davis School District, which is ranked 40 out of 98 districts in Utah and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Lincoln School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln School's test scores are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 22.5% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 54.1% in the district and 46.7% statewide. The school also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (42.39% in 2022-2023) and a higher student-teacher ratio (21.8 in 2022-2023) compared to nearby schools. Additionally, Lincoln School's spending per student ($7,362 in 2018-2019) is lower than the nearby schools, which range from $6,794 to $9,940 per student.

Despite the school's consistent low performance, the data indicates that there may be opportunities for improvement. The higher percentage of Hispanic students at Lincoln School could be leveraged as an asset, and targeted interventions and support for low-income students could help address the achievement gap. Additionally, the school may be able to learn from the practices and strategies of its higher-performing neighboring schools, such as Antelope School, King School, and Ellison Park School.

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.

Open Quote Certain classes simply aren't safe for students. The teachers and administration do their best to keep bullies away from others. But there are some students who simply shouldn't be allowed at the school. You know, because they have "rights" to an education too. Marking down a student's verbal and physical bullying doesn't matter when he comes back the next day and does it all over again. Close Quote

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.
