Lincoln-Irving Elementary School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, chronic absenteeism, and the performance of its subgroups. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.6% in 2020-2021 to 44.3% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

For example, in 2023-2024, only 7.4% of 3rd graders, 1.8% of 4th graders, and 7.8% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to district averages of 21.8%, 26.7%, and 25.7%, respectively. The school's subgroups, such as female students, male students, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, Special Education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, all perform significantly worse than their peers across the state.

While Lincoln-Irving's performance is consistently low, the nearby schools in the Moline-Coal Valley CUSD 40 district, such as Roosevelt Elementary and George Washington Elementary, also struggle academically, with test scores and other metrics below state averages. This suggests that the challenges faced by Lincoln-Irving are not unique and may be systemic within the district.

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.
