The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students, around 75%, compared to a more balanced racial distribution at the other schools. Additionally, Abraham Lincoln Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Washington elementary schools, with a 1-star rating, significantly lower than the higher-ranked nearby schools.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of around $18,000 at Abraham Lincoln Elementary, the school's academic outcomes remain significantly below the district and state averages. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be enough to improve the school's performance, and that other factors, such as instructional practices, teacher quality, and school leadership, may be more important. The nearby schools generally have higher rankings, ratings, test scores, and more balanced student demographics, highlighting the significant gap in performance between Abraham Lincoln Elementary and its peers.

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.
