Abraham Lincoln Elementary

Summary:

Abraham Lincoln Elementary is a public elementary school in Monroe, Wisconsin, serving 330 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Monroe School District.

The school has shown mixed academic performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 303 and 660 out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools. While 5th-grade students performed well above the district and state averages in Mathematics, the school generally underperformed Parkside Elementary and Northside Elementary in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Interestingly, the school's special education students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds have shown strong performance, ranking in the top 25-30% of Wisconsin elementary schools in these subgroups, while white students have performed relatively poorly.

Abraham Lincoln Elementary's chronic absenteeism rate has fluctuated, ranging from 2.5% in 2020-2021 to 13.1% in 2021-2022, which may have contributed to the dips in academic performance observed during that time. The school's per-student spending has increased from $12,060 in 2018-2019 to $13,501 in 2020-2021, and its student-teacher ratio has remained relatively stable at around 12 students per teacher in recent years. By addressing the inconsistencies in academic achievement and the gaps in performance for certain student groups, the school can work towards a more comprehensive and equitable approach to supporting the growth and success of all its students.

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.
