Lincoln Elementary School

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Casper, Wyoming, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 459. The school is part of the Natrona County School District #1, which is ranked 33 out of 42 school districts in Wyoming and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wyoming elementary schools, ranking 113 out of 147 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance has been relatively stagnant over the past decade, with its ranking ranging from 86 to 150 out of the state's elementary schools. While the school has a higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state averages, these factors have not translated into higher academic achievement. Lincoln Elementary's student performance on the WY-TOPP assessments is generally below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with the exception of Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students, who perform relatively well compared to the state.

Interestingly, Lincoln Elementary School's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools within the Natrona County School District #1, such as Summit Elementary, Verda James Elementary, and Sagewood Elementary, which all have higher rankings and student performance on the WY-TOPP assessments. The school's relatively strong performance for certain student subgroups and its higher per-student spending suggest that there may be opportunities to learn from these successes and apply similar approaches to other subject areas and student populations to improve the overall academic performance at Lincoln Elementary School.

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.
