Summary

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Belvidere, Illinois, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 552. The school is part of the Belvidere CUSD 100 district, which is ranked 645 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lincoln Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, typically between 1300-1500 out of around 2,000 schools. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is significantly below the state and district averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 31% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 53.1% statewide and 37.1% in the Belvidere CUSD 100 district. In math, the proficiency rate was 29.4%, compared to 38.5% statewide and 26.8% in the district. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.6% to 26.3% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state and district averages.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the Belvidere CUSD 100 district, such as Caledonia Elementary School and Perry Elementary School, also struggle academically, with similar low proficiency rates and rankings. However, some nearby schools in the Rockford School District 205, such as Spring Creek Elementary School and Brookview Elementary School, perform significantly better academically, with higher proficiency rates and rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by Lincoln Elementary School may be more systemic within the Belvidere CUSD 100 district, rather than solely a reflection of the school's own performance.
