Lincoln Elementary School

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Emmaus, Pennsylvania, serving 399 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the East Penn School District, which is ranked 131 out of 610 school districts in the state.

While Lincoln Elementary School's performance on PSSA tests is generally lower than the district and state averages, the school stands out for its strong performance with Hispanic students, ranking 31 out of 454 Pennsylvania elementary schools in this subgroup. However, the school's performance for other subgroups, such as White students, Low Socioeconomic Status students, and Disabled students, is lower, with 2-star ratings. The school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 34.93% to 40.4%, may be a contributing factor to its overall academic performance, which lags behind the nearby Wescosville Elementary School and Macungie Elementary School, both of which have higher proficiency rates and 4-star ratings.

Despite the higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio at Lincoln Elementary School, the school's academic performance is still lagging behind the nearby schools. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing, such as curriculum, instructional practices, and school leadership, may be more significant in driving student achievement. Continued focus on addressing the needs of all student subgroups and exploring effective instructional strategies may help Lincoln Elementary School improve its overall academic outcomes.

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.
