Lincoln Elementary faces significant challenges compared to other schools in the area. The school has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (27.59%) than the state average (22.7%), but its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 25.79% of Lincoln Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 52.63%. The school's statewide ranking among Washington elementary schools has been consistently low, ranging from 723 out of 1,026 schools in 2003-2004 to 1,058 out of 1,168 schools in 2023-2024, placing it in the bottom half of elementary schools in the state. Additionally, Lincoln Elementary's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students and male students, who rank in the bottom 10% of Washington elementary schools in recent years.
Despite increased per-student spending, from $11,665 in 2019-2020 to $20,376 in 2021-2022, Lincoln Elementary's academic performance has been declining, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math dropping from the low 30% range in 2022-2023 to the low 20% range in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and strategies to better address the unique needs of its student population. Compared to nearby schools, such as Central Elementary and Emerson Elementary, Lincoln Elementary's performance is consistently lower, indicating that the challenges faced by the school may be specific to its own circumstances rather than the broader Hoquiam School District.
