Lincoln Elementary

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary is a public elementary school in Hoquiam, Washington, serving grades 2-5 with a student population of 203. The school is part of the Hoquiam School District, which is ranked 234 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

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.

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.
