Lincoln Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

Lincoln Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in North Platte, Nebraska, with 284 students enrolled. The school is part of the North Platte Public Schools district, which is ranked 138 out of 182 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being located in close proximity to several higher-performing elementary schools in the district, such as Eisenhower, Washington, and Jefferson, Lincoln Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nebraska elementary schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Lincoln Elementary also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.9% to 27.6% over the past few years, which is significantly above the state average. The school's proficiency rates on the NSCAS state assessments are consistently below the North Platte Public Schools district and the state of Nebraska averages across grade levels and subject areas. Despite these persistent challenges, the school does not appear to have made significant improvements in recent years, suggesting a need for more effective interventions and support to help improve student outcomes at Lincoln Elementary.

Just disappointed in this school as a whole, they are very impersonal. My daughters 2nd grade teacher strait up said she constantly is telling her class to stop asking so many questions because once they get to higher grades the teachers are only going to give them instructions once and then they will be out of luck... what... I thought all kids where different, I didn't realize the kids where all little robots that learned they same exact way. Close Quote
