Lincoln Elementary School

Q: Is Lincoln Elementary School a good school?

Lincoln Elementary School ranks 689 th of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Huntington, Indiana, serving grades K-5 with a student population of 371. The school faces several key challenges, including a lack of racial diversity, high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism, and consistently lower academic performance compared to both the Huntington County Community School Corporation district and the state averages.

Lincoln Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (86.79%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have a more diverse student population. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 14.1% to 18.6% over the past three years, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools. Additionally, Lincoln Elementary's test scores are consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 20.36% of Lincoln Elementary students were proficient or better in ILEARN/English Language Arts, compared to 36.37% for the district and 38.6% for the state in 3rd grade.

The high rates of poverty, as indicated by the free and reduced lunch percentages ranging from 74.36% to 81.4% over the past three years, and the high chronic absenteeism rates at Lincoln Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance. When compared to other nearby schools in the Huntington County Community School Corporation district, such as Salamonie Elementary and Roanoke Elementary, Lincoln Elementary consistently underperforms on test scores and has higher rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch recipients.

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.
