Summary:

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Dumont, New Jersey, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. With a total enrollment of 190 students, the school is part of the Dumont Public School District, which is ranked 179 out of 613 school districts in New Jersey and has a 4-star rating.

One of Lincoln Elementary School's key strengths is its consistent performance above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across grades 3-5. In the 2023-2024 school year, 60.6% of 3rd graders, 80.7% of 4th graders, and 60% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 43.6%, 50.8%, and 52.3%, respectively. Similarly, 57.6% of 3rd graders, 61.3% of 4th graders, and 43.3% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Mathematics, outperforming the state averages of 47.6%, 45%, and 40.1%.

While Lincoln Elementary School's overall performance is strong, there are some areas of concern. The school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.3% in the 2020-2021 school year to 16.6% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the state average of 13.2%. Additionally, the school's White students perform below the state average, ranking in the bottom 587 out of 963 New Jersey elementary schools for White students in the 2023-2024 school year. In contrast, the school's Hispanic students consistently outperform the state average, ranking in the top 100 out of 989 New Jersey elementary schools for Hispanic students in the same year. Addressing these challenges will be crucial for the school's continued improvement and success.

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.
