Lincoln School

Summary:

Lincoln School is an elementary school in Salt Lake City, Utah, serving 456 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Granite School District, which is ranked 72 out of 98 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Lincoln School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a ranking between 425-542 out of 551-572 schools.

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.

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.
