Lincoln Elementary

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary is a public elementary school located in Manteca, California, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 648 students. Unfortunately, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of California elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing significantly below the state average.

Lincoln Elementary's academic performance is a major concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that are significantly lower than the Manteca Unified School District and the state of California averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 18.02% of Lincoln Elementary students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 36.55% for Manteca Unified and 47.04% for California. The school's performance in Science is also well below the district and state averages. Additionally, Lincoln Elementary has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.7% in 2017-2018 to 34.3% in 2022-2023, which is much higher than the district and state averages.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Manteca Unified School District, such as Veritas Elementary, Walter Woodward Elementary, Brock Elliott Elementary, and Shasta Elementary, Lincoln Elementary consistently underperforms across all academic measures and has a much lower statewide ranking. This suggests that Lincoln Elementary may be lacking in resources, funding, or effective instructional strategies to address the needs of its student population, which has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

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.
