Lincoln Elementary School

Public Grades 1-2

Summary

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, serving 211 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Mount Pleasant Community School District, which is ranked 205 out of 309 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary School's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in 3rd grade. However, the school performs better in 4th and 5th grades, with higher proficiency rates in some subjects. The school has a relatively high percentage of students (49.76%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than the state average and indicates a higher proportion of students from low-income families. Compared to nearby schools, such as Van Buren County Community School District Harmony Center and Morning Sun Elementary School, Lincoln Elementary School generally performs worse on standardized tests, particularly in 3rd grade, but is more competitive in 4th and 5th grades.

The school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 46th out of 599 schools in 2015-2016 to 375th out of 557 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests the school may be struggling to keep up with the performance of other elementary schools in the state. The lower test scores and declining ranking indicate that Lincoln Elementary School may benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes, particularly in the earlier grades.
