Lincoln Elementary School

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Toppenish, Washington, serving grades K-5 with a student population of 288. The school is part of the Toppenish School District, which is ranked 237 out of 247 school districts in Washington and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary School faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly Hispanic (91.67%) and Native American (6.94%), much higher than the state averages. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Washington elementary schools, with academic performance on state assessments (SBAC and WCAS) significantly below the state and district averages across all grades and subjects. Despite relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $10,581 to $19,965 over the past 4 years, the school's academic outcomes remain poor. When compared to other nearby schools in the Wapato School District, Granger School District, Zillah School District, and Toppenish School District, Lincoln Elementary School consistently underperforms on academic measures.

The challenges faced by Lincoln Elementary School appear to be systemic, with a high percentage of students from low-income families (86.83% to 93.75% over the past 3 years) and a persistent struggle with academic achievement. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that takes into account the unique needs of the school's student population and the broader educational context of the region, including schools like Camas Elementary, Satus Elementary, and Roosevelt Elementary.

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.
