Lincoln Elementary School

Q: Is Lincoln Elementary School a good school?

Lincoln Elementary School ranks 131 st of 301 Idaho elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Rexburg, Idaho, serving grades K-4 with a student population of 394. It is part of the Madison School District, which is ranked 58 out of 77 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary consistently outperforms the Madison District and the state of Idaho in both Math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grades. For example, in 2023-2024, 54.9% of Lincoln students were proficient or better in Math, compared to 37.6% for the district and 42.2% for the state. However, the school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to nearby schools, ranging from 24.9% to 33.0% over the past few years. Additionally, Lincoln Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 28.79% to 37.11% over the past few years, suggesting a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

While Lincoln Elementary outperforms the Madison District and the state in academic proficiency, it is not the top-performing school in the immediate vicinity. Hibbard Elementary has higher Math and ELA proficiency rates in several grade levels, while South Fork Elementary and Kennedy Elementary have lower proficiency rates and higher chronic absenteeism compared to Lincoln Elementary. The school's declining statewide ranking, from a high of 10th out of 171 Idaho elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 131st out of 301 in 2023-2024, suggests that its performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state.

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.
