Despite its overall low academic performance, Lincoln School has some notable strengths. The school has a significantly more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a student body that is 22.15% White, 14.69% African American, 39.47% Hispanic, 15.57% Asian, 2.85% Native American, 4.61% Pacific Islander, and 0.66% two or more races. Additionally, Lincoln School has consistently ranked among the top 6-25 elementary schools in Utah for English Language Learner (ELL) student performance, and it has also performed relatively well in supporting its low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking in the top 32-71 elementary schools in the state for this subgroup.
However, Lincoln School's academic performance, as measured by RISE test scores, is generally lower than the Granite District and Utah state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 18.5% to 33.9% in English Language Arts and 19.7% to 33.9% in Mathematics, compared to district averages of 32.4% to 34.8% in ELA and 31.3% to 36% in Math. When compared to nearby schools, such as William Penn School, which consistently outperforms Lincoln School by a significant margin on RISE test scores, it is clear that Lincoln faces significant challenges in improving its overall academic outcomes.
