Lincoln Elementary School

Summary:

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school in Olympia, Washington, serving around 270 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Olympia School District, which is ranked 45 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Lincoln Elementary stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, with students scoring above the state average in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. The school's Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status student groups also perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 20% and top 30% of Washington elementary schools, respectively. This suggests Lincoln Elementary is effective at supporting traditionally underserved populations. Interestingly, the school has a higher percentage of White students (70%) compared to nearby schools like Garfield Elementary and Madison Elementary, which have more diverse student populations.

Lincoln Elementary's academic success may be attributed to its relatively high per-student spending of around $20,000 and low student-teacher ratio of 15 students per teacher, both of which are higher than the state averages. These resources likely contribute to the school's ability to provide effective support and instruction for its students. Overall, Lincoln Elementary appears to be a standout performer within the Olympia School District, with a combination of academic excellence, equitable support for diverse learners, and efficient 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.
