Abraham Lincoln Elementary School

Summary:

Abraham Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Jamestown, New York, which is part of the Jamestown City School District. The school has 377 students and has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate over the past decade, currently ranking 1,593 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools (2 stars).

One of the school's strengths is its relatively strong performance on state assessments compared to the district and some nearby schools, such as Clinton V Bush Elementary and Carlyle C Ring Elementary. For example, in 2023-2024, 46.67% of 3rd graders at Abraham Lincoln Elementary were proficient or better in Math, compared to the district's 34.77%. However, the school's performance varies significantly by student subgroup, with female and Hispanic students outperforming their peers.

Despite these strengths, the school faces some challenges. Its statewide ranking has declined over the past decade, and it has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, the school's per-student spending has increased significantly in recent years, yet its overall performance and statewide ranking have been mixed, raising questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation.

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.
