Lincoln-McKinley School

Summary:

Lincoln-McKinley School is an elementary school in Havre, Montana, serving 301 students in grades 2-3. While the school outperforms the overall Havre Elementary School District in academic proficiency, it faces a mix of strengths and challenges, including a diverse student population, a relatively low student-teacher ratio, and declining statewide rankings.

One of the key strengths of Lincoln-McKinley School is its diverse student population, with 64.78% White and 23.92% Native American students, which is higher than the nearby Sunnyside School and Highland Park School. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.9 to 17.5 over the past three years, which is lower than the nearby schools. However, the school's academic performance, while better than the district average, still lags behind the statewide averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency.

Another interesting finding is the school's declining statewide ranking, dropping from 93rd out of 191 elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 200th out of 332 in 2022-2023. This decline in relative performance is concerning and warrants further investigation. Additionally, the high percentage of Native American students at Lincoln-McKinley School, coupled with the district's overall low performance, raises questions about educational equity and the school's ability to meet the needs of diverse student populations. In contrast, the nearby Davey Elementary School, with only 16 students, provides a stark comparison in terms of scale and resources, with a significantly lower student-teacher ratio of 8:1.

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.
